Principal's Message

Jacqueline Enis

Welcome to Benito Middle School, home of the Jaguars!

Benito Families,

I am elated to be your principal.  I have proudly served Hillsborough County Public Schools since 2001, beginning my journey as a classroom teacher and later serving as an Assistant Principal for Curriculum. Throughout the years, I’ve had the joy of working with incredible students, families, and educators across the district.

My vision for Benito is to improve student attendance, build a positive and supportive school culture and strengthen instruction so that every student can thrive. I believe that when students feel valued, supported and challenged, they show up ready to learn and succeed.

On a personal note, I’m a proud mother of one daughter. Outside of education, I enjoy all things beauty and fashion; however, you can often find me cheering for my favorite football teams on the weekends!

I look forward to working together with our families and community to make this school year exceptional.

 

Warm regards,

 

Jacqueline Enis

Principal
