We are proud to announce a historic milestone for Hillsborough County Public Schools! Our 2024-2025 graduation rate is an impressive 90.9%, marking the highest rate in the district's history. 🎉🎓
This means 910 more students than the previous year crossed the stage, ready for college, careers, the military, or whatever their next journey in life may hold.
This achievement belongs to our entire HCPS family. From our staff and families to our community partners, thank you for helping our students succeed. Together, we are #LeadingTheWay!
