Awesome graduation at LaVoy Exceptional Center. So proud of Jacob. Van Ayres Hillsborough Schools

It was an incredible 1st day of our traditional graduation ceremonies! One of my favorite moments is meeting our Unique Seniors, each with their own inspiring journey to this milestone. We couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments & resilience shown along the way.

Day 2 of our graduation ceremonies kicked off with our largest class — over 900 graduates! Each graduate brings a powerful story of hard work and determination, and I’m honored to celebrate this accomplishment with them and their families.

Day 6 of our traditional graduation ceremonies is complete! Just two more days and seven graduations to go. It’s hard to believe we’re already nearing the end of another school year. Let’s finish the week strong, HCPS Family!

We’ve reached the 2nd-to-last day of our graduations, and the energy is still going strong! From the proud smiles of our graduates to the cheers and happy tears of their families, these moments are a powerful reminder of what this journey is all about.

You’re looking at our last graduate, Destiny Wilson from Spoto High School, for the 2024-2025 graduation season! 🎓🎉 Congratulations to the 15,000+ graduates who are part of this incredibly smart, driven, and bold class! We wish you nothing but success and happiness!

I had the honor of joining Superintendent Kevin Hendrick & Pasco County Schools' supt yesterday for a panel hosted by Tampa Bay Partnership. We discussed the importance of early learning, literacy & career readiness. Investing in our students means investing in a stronger, more competitive Tampa Bay.

Attending yesterday’s Hillsborough County 4th Annual #Juneteenth Flag-Raising Ceremony was a powerful reminder of what this day represents. It’s a moment to reflect and honor the strength and contributions of Black Americans.
