As students at Vero Beach High prepare to return from summer vacation, the first phase of the Jimmy Graves sports & Community Complex is nearing completion. This new facility features an eight-lane regulation track and a soccer field that also accommodates lacrosse, allowing home track meets to be held for the first time. Funded with over $7.6 million from public and private sources, the complex includes a state-of-the-art inclusive playground designed for all children and the latest LED sports lighting.
