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!
