Donations will be collected from October 2nd through October 18th, with all contributions going directly to the affected families and staff of Tarpon Springs Middle School.

HB 1473 — School Safety
The State of Florida has passed HB 1473, which enhances safety procedures on school campuses. This includes ensuring that all gates and doors to buildings and classrooms are closed and locked whenever students are on campus. Our administrative team has developed processes to comply with this new bill with minimal disruption to our normal routines.
