It was a great day at LHS. We are fortunate to be able to have partnered with Suncoast Credit Union for a Student Run Branch. Such an incredible opportunity for our students to learn financial skills and do their banking right here on campus!! @SuncoastCU@collierschools
Authentic leadership from someone who truly values & prioritizes communication, congratulations @SupRicciardelli! Nationwide recognition adds more shine to our greater community. It also provides a platform to share best practices. 👏#NSPRA2025 ⬇️
Today the National School Public Relations Association recognized @SupRicciardelli as one of only 25 nationwide “Superintendents to Watch.” Honorees have fewer than five years of experience as a superintendent and demonstrate dynamic, fast-paced leadership with strong communication at its core. @NSPRA #CCPSProud #NSPRA2025

It’s inspiring to see students pushing the boundaries of creativity, problem-solving, & critical thinking. 12 Collier County students traveled to the State Science & Engineering Fair of FL late last month.
