🍎CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN LEADERSHIP🍎
We’ve had the privilege of celebrating several of our educators recently for completing intensive, year-long professional learning programs, and we’re proud to add two more to that list!
Congratulations to Murray Middle School Principal Tiffany Roth and Citrus Grove Elementary School Assistant Principal Danelle Roberts, who were recognized this week at the Florida Association of School Administrators' Annual Leadership Conference for completing a year-long leadership development program designed for Florida's emerging school leaders.
Throughout the program, both leaders engaged in extensive professional learning, collaborated with peers from across the state, and completed capstone projects focused on creating meaningful impacts within their schools. It’s another example of what sets our team apart: a commitment to keep learning, keep growing, and continuously build better opportunities for both staff and students.

Hands-on science? ✔️
Snorkeling and fishing? ✔️
