The Fort Myers Stars Complex, formerly known as the Dr. Ann Murphy Knight S.T.A.R.S. Complex, has been a vital part of the Fort Myers community for over 25 years. This facility, located on Edison Avenue, offers a wide range of academic and recreational support programs for children, including dance, sports, and academic assistance. The complex is currently undergoing an addition and renovation, with input from parents, students, and community members, and a portion of the building will serve as a hurricane shelter.
The S.T.A.R.S. Complex is the brainchild of former mayor Wilbur C. Smith III and was renamed in honor of Dr. Ann Murphy Knight, an esteemed educator and long-serving member of the Fort Myers City Council. Dr. Knight dedicated over 40 years to teaching youth in the city and played a significant role in improving childhood education and addressing juvenile crime. The complex operates through a partnership between various organizations, including the City of Fort Myers, the Fort Myers Housing Authority, and the Lee County School Board, all working together to provide a safe haven and recreational venue for children in the community.
