Clay County program graduates are John Blanton Jr., Christopher Carella, Steven Doughty, Lindsey Edmonson, William Ford, Rebecca Huckert, Marianne Hillary Medina, Mark Michaels, LaRee Moody, Sara Myers, Sheila Occhiogrosso, Daniel Pearce, Treena Petrelli, Scott Sanborn and Julia Tadlock.
Other graduates from Putnam County are James Lancaster and Tim Ross, from Duval County are Lisa Webb, Maria Emede and Michele Mergen and from Volusia County is Diana Santucci.
In order to participate in the EPI program, an applicant must have earned a bachelor degree from a regionally accredited college or university and possess the disposition suitable for becoming a teacher.
