Strawberry Crest High School

Join us for the Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon Children’s Festival and Seniors’ Fair this Saturday, September 27, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Alonso High School.

This special celebration will feature academic awards, recognition of Vietnamese American History Essay winners, a traditional Asian national outfits showcase, a Lion Dance, and cultural performances from Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Korean, Filipino, and Bangladeshi groups. Families can also enjoy free lanterns, face painting, candy for children, and delicious Asian cuisine.

The Seniors’ Fair will provide valuable resources on estate planning, health and assisted living options, as well as free memory screenings and hearing tests.

This event is more than a festival — it is a community effort to uplift our youth, support our seniors, and strengthen bonds across generations and cultures!

Did you know that 80 HCPS seniors were recently named Semifinalists in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program? Strawberry Crest High School had 28 of those students, which is the most of any public school in Florida.

These students now join nearly 16,000 other Semifinalists, representing less than 1% of high school seniors nationwide. They have the chance to advance to the Finalist level, with the opportunity to earn nearly $26 million in scholarships.

Congratulations to our students, especially this incredible group of Chargers! We are so proud of your dedication, perseverance, and academic excellence.

It's National Arts in Education Week! 🎨🎭 HCPS celebrates the importance of arts education, which fosters creativity, self-expression, and critical thinking across our district. Whether through painting, music, dance, or theater, the arts enrich student learning.

During National Latin & Hispanic Heritage Month, our school district celebrates the rich cultures, traditions, and achievements of Hispanic and Latino communities. 🇲🇽🇨🇺🇸🇻

CALLING ALL STUDENT ARTISTS! 🖍️ It’s time to show off your creativity with our Every Day Matters Poster Contest. In partnership with United Way Suncoast, we’re challenging students to show why coming to school every day makes a difference. Use a powerful slogan, meaningful artwork, or both to share your unique perspective on what motivates you to show up.

The contest will run through Friday, October 10. Posters must be submitted through your art teacher and sent via school mail to our K-12 Arts Supervisor, Laura Hobby.
