Tampa Bay Technical High School reached a major milestone as students in the Vet Assisting program participated in the school’s first on-campus veterinary surgery. 🐾💉
With support from veterinary professionals and students from Hillsborough Community College, TBT students gained real-world experience in a clinical environment — practicing surgical prep, patient monitoring, sterilization, teamwork, and professional communication.
This hands-on training prepares students for future careers in veterinary medicine, animal care, and related health science pathways.

To support student health and safety, Hillsborough County Public Schools is installing vaping detectors in our high school bathrooms following a three-month pilot program at six campuses to identify the most effective devices.
This school year, schools have recorded more than 1,000 vaping-related referrals. The new devices will detect airborne vapor and immediately alert administrators. They do not record audio or video.
Reducing vaping and protecting student health remain a top priority. Together, we can help keep our campuses safe!
