Parents and Community members,

Welcome to another exciting school year at Seventy-Fourth Street Elementary, home of the Jaguars. It is an honor and my pleasure to serve as the proud principal of Seventy-Fourth Street Elementary. In the past three years, we have increased our overall proficiency and learning gains in all subject areas. We celebrated our scholars at monthly PBIS celebrations and Jaguar Jams. We have invited our scholars to join tutoring and enrichment clubs such as STEM club, Girls that Code, science club, and spelling club. We have provided opportunities to attend field trips to enrich the student experience, such as Kennedy Space Center, Florida Aquarium, Tampa Bay Watch, and the Museum of Science and Industry.

Seventy-Fourth Street is a school with elevated expectations as well as sustained parent and community involvement. I am committed to building the school’s success by maintaining a positive and safe learning environment that focuses on what is best for our scholars. At Seventy-Fourth Street, we plan for elevated levels of learning for the benefit of all scholars.

I am committed to continuing our progress by increasing student proficiency in all academic areas. I will provide you with timely information that allows us to become partners in your child’s learning. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher, the front office or me. I look forward to the upcoming 2025 – 2026 school year.

I am truly proud to serve as the principal of Seventy-Fourth Street Elementary School. Go Jaguars!!

Kindest Regards,

Principal Ku

Hello 74^th Street Family,

I am Alexandra Owens, your proud Assistant Principal. This will be my fifth year here, and I am excited to continue to learn and grow alongside our staff and students. We have worked hard to continue to increase our proficiency, and I know that the 25-26 school year will be a successful one.

I want to share a little bit about me. I was raised in Marietta, Georgia and was a product of Cobb County Schools. I attended Florida State University for my undergraduate degree and the University of South Florida for my master program. My husband and two children moved to Pinellas County in 2015. I fell in love with Pinellas’ beaches and soon after fell in love with its schools. This is my 20^th year in education, and I feel confident it will be the best one yet!
