Hundreds of educators from Hillsborough County Public Schools signed up this week to explore how artificial intelligence can transform teaching and learning.
Through hands-on training and collaboration, teachers and administrators are discovering practical ways AI can save time, streamline planning, and support student success. At the end of the week, participants will earn a credential recognizing their new skills and commitment to innovation.

Have a great summer Lions!
Smiles are big, and summer is here! Thank you for a year full of growth and great moments. Have an amazing summer.
Our Principal's Honor Roll students enjoyed their last Principal's Pancake Party of the year this morning. We also recognized the students who got Principal's Honor Roll all year! We are so proud of their hard work and achievement. Mrs. Meyer gave them a swag bag to celebrate the occasion.

Episode 17: Student Voices
For the final episode of our very first podcast season, we turn the microphone over to the voices at the heart of our schools — our students. Two graduating seniors, Ella Connell and Dillon Colaso, join us to reflect on their K–12 journey, from their earliest days in kindergarten to the milestones of their senior year. They share the moments, experiences, and educators that made an impact, how they’ve grown along the way, and what lies ahead as they prepare to take their next steps beyond high school.
