Happy National Principals Month to all our amazing HCPS principals! Your commitment and leadership are key to our schools' success. You are much more than just a principal. Thank you for inspiring your teams, supporting staff, and always prioritizing our students' achievement. 🍎
It's time to leave your own mark with a bookmark for our Hillsborough Reads Bookmark Contest! 🎨📖
We are inviting HCPS educators and students in all grades to design a colorful 2.5" x 7" bookmark that captures the theme "Get Caught Reading" for a chance to have their artwork professionally printed and shared across our schools.
Students can ask their school's media specialist for a copy of the bookmark contest guidelines and must submit their entries to their school's art teacher by EOD on Friday, Oct. 31. Winners will be announced in December!

Last week, 3DE seniors at Chamberlain and Hillsborough High School joined students from across Tampa Bay at the Bill Poe Family Junior Achievement campus for a day of career exploration and professional growth.
Students connected with representatives from over 40 industries, learning about educational and career pathways available after graduation. They also participated in a hands-on LinkedIn workshop, gaining skills to showcase their 3DE experiences to future employers.
3DE by Junior Achievement blends academics with real-world business experiences, preparing students with the skills, confidence, and connections to pursue choice-filled, purpose-driven lives. Thanks to programs like 3DE, these seniors are among the most prepared high school students in the region.
