Garden Club Harvest Day!
Today our Garden Club students proudly harvested fresh kale and cauliflower from our school garden. After gathering the veggies they’ve been caring for, students took their harvest to the kitchen—roasting the cauliflower to perfection and frying kale to make delicious homemade kale chips. It was a fun, hands-on way to enjoy the fruits (and veggies!) of their hard work. 🌱🥦✨
It's Women’s History Month, celebrating the women who bolster HCPS every day. Their accomplishments and commitment influence students' future. We honor educators, staff, administrators, and partners whose leadership elevates our district and motivates future leaders.

Middle school students from Liberty, Young Middle Magnet, Adum K-8, Sligh, and Memorial recently participated in the T.R.I.P. (Tourism, Recreation, Industry & Pathways) event at The Florida Aquarium where learning came to life beyond the classroom walls.
Students explored careers connected to tourism and recreation while hearing from Mayor Jane Castor and participating in a panel discussion with industry professionals.
Through engaging conversations and real-world connections, students gained valuable insight into future career pathways and discovered how their interests today can shape their opportunities tomorrow.
