Hillsborough Schools en Español

I am thrilled to announce a new communication tool created for our Hispanic students, staff and families. Our district launched dedicated social media channels to communicate exclusively in Spanish. The new pages on Facebook and Twitter are called “Hillsborough Schools en Español,” and will focus on the growing Hispanic community in our district.

Our Hispanic students make up 37% of our student population. By leveraging Facebook and Twitter en Espanol, we can cultivate greater connections with our students, parents, and the entire community. These social media channels will share important information for our more than 80,000 students who identify as Hispanic.

Right now our schools are celebrating the diversity of our student population during Hispanic Heritage Month, so this is a perfect time to strengthen our community outreach efforts for the Spanish-speaking families within Hillsborough County Public Schools. 

The pages are now live. We encourage you to follow Hillsborough Schools en Espanol. Share this new resource with any colleagues, families or community members you believe can benefit from the important information posted daily.
