Greetings Tampa Heights families!
I am very proud to serve as the Principal of Tampa Heights Elementary Magnet School! As I enter my fourth year as Principal, I am excited to continue our work with the Leader in Me, Project Lead the Way, and the Sustainable Goals Projects. We have a dedicated staff that works in true partnership with our families to grow your children academically and socially into "Global Leaders" as they learn to innovate, invent, and campaign to impact change.
Best Regards, Ms. Amy Metzler

Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is a hands-on STEM program that helps students explore science, technology, engineering, and math through fun, real-world projects. It builds problem-solving skills, creativity, and confidence—helping kids become curious thinkers and future-ready leaders. By using the engineering and design process, students are able to create, innovate, and invent!
At T.H.E.M., students learn about Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—like clean water, equality, and protecting the planet—and connect them to Leader in Me habits. Through classroom lessons and projects, Navigators learn to lead by solving real-world problems, working together, and making a positive impact in their community and beyond. Whether it’s a school-wide recycling project or a classroom campaign to raise awareness about hunger or quality education, students are developing academic skills and character while becoming global leaders.
