The College of the Florida Keys (CFK) is a public college in Key West, Florida. It is part of the Florida College System. Its main campus is on Stock Island, adjacent to the only living coral reef in North America. CFK also operates two additional locations in the Florida Keys; one in Marathon and another in Key Largo. With its Key West location, CFK is the southernmost post-secondary school of any type within the contiguous United States. Florida Keys Community College was renamed to The College of the Florida Keys, after passing both the Florida House and Senate, and signed into law on June 7, 2019.[4][5]
