East Lake Middle opened its doors and welcomed student visitors who attended an English conversation school in Japan last week. 👏 Students from both schools got the chance to play tennis and pickleball, build electrical circuits, and learn about the Periodic Table in both English and Japanese. What an amazing opportunity for both schools to learn about each other's culture. #PCSProud

This month, Biomedical students from Palm Harbor University High took an exciting field trip to the SPC STEM Center! 🔬🧫 Students dove into the world of microplastics, analyzing water samples collected on-site. They even came across a baby jellyfish in their discoveries. We love seeing our students get the hands-on experience! #PCSFieldTrips

Pickleball is officially the fastest-growing sport in America, and St. Pete High is serving up some serious talent! 🏓🔥 As one of the first schools to add an on-campus court, the results are speaking for themselves: the club has more than doubled in size since the courts were built. They have big plans with hopes of hosting tournaments, offering an alternative for physical education classes, opening their courts to the community, hosting fundraisers, and holding staff development activities. #PCSProud
