SATELLITE BEACH, Florida – Twenty-five years after graduating from Satellite High, Bobby Pruett has been named principal of the high school.

“I am looking forward to watching our students grow into young adults and to be there to shake their hand as they graduate and walk across that stage. I am so very fortunate to have been named principal of Satellite and look forward to serving the Satellite High School community.”

“My greatest accomplishment is being given the opportunity to serve each of the school communities I have been part of over the last 20 years.”
