    Welcome to Highland Lakes Elementary School!

    I’m honored to serve as the principal of a school where curiosity, creativity, and community come together to create a joyful and supportive learning environment. Our dedicated staff work hard every day to inspire students to reach their full potential—academically, socially, and emotionally.
    At Highland Lakes, we believe that every child can learn and thrive when they feel safe, valued, and challenged. We partner closely with families and the wider community to ensure that our students are prepared not just for the next grade, but for life.
    Thank you for being part of our school family. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the exciting things happening at Highland Lakes.
    Warm regards,
    Julie Brewster

    Mr. Daniel Lennox

    Greeting Panthers! 

    I am proud and excited to be nurturing tomorrow’s leaders today here at Highland Lakes Elementary! Fun fact – I am living a “full circle” experience as I was a classroom teacher intern at Highland Lakes in the fall of 2002.  I have served as an educator with Pinellas County Schools for over 20 years, and I continue to grow through learning experiences with colleagues, students and families.  

    I earned my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from USF (Go Bulls!) and my master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Arkansas State University.  My wife (also a Pinellas County educator) and I raised our children here in Palm Harbor, where they attended Pinellas County Schools. We love where we live!  

    I am passionate about ensuring that all students have the opportunity to grow and learn in a safe and challenging environment.  I truly believe that leadership and creativity exist within each child and the job of educators and families is to support students in discovering and reaching their potential. 

    I look forward to building partnerships with all stakeholders and supporting the Highland Lakes family as we all Empower Leadership!  

    Sincerely, 

    Daniel Lennox | Assistant Principal
