Students in Mr. Waraksa's Digital Discoveries class at Barrington MS learned about the problem-solving process through multiple attempts of building towers out of spaghetti & tape. They needed to be strong enough to hold the weight of a marshmallow on top. The highest tower won!!

Hillsborough HS Tourism Academy students had an amazing experience today at the Florida Governor’s Conference on Tourism! They attended Tim Tebow’s keynote, network and even received a special shoutout during the lunch general session. #TourismAcademy #FLTourism #StudentSuccess

One driver illegally passing a stopped school bus is unacceptable. However, having 2,391 individual violations in just FOUR DAYS is shocking.

Student safety is at risk.

Please listen to this important message from Superintendent @VanAyresHCPS.
