🏆EXCELLENCE WORTH CELEBRATING!
Congratulations to our fellow HCPS Charter Schools on your success!
We are incredibly proud to announce that Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School has been recognized as a 2026 School of Excellence by the Florida Department of Education! 🎉
This outstanding achievement places us among the highest achieving schools in Hillsborough County. In 2026, only 2 charter high schools and just 7 high schools across the county earned this recognition! 🌟
This honor reflects the dedication of our amazing students, the commitment of our exceptional teachers and staff, the support of our families, and the strength of our entire school community. It also reflects the impact of strong school leadership that prioritizes teaching and learning, sets high expectations, and fosters a culture of continuous growth and achievement. Together, we continue to demonstrate what is possible when excellence is at the heart of everything we do.

BDCHS held our annual Noche Latina celebration and Spanish National Honor Society induction. Our school community came together to celebrate Hispanic culture through music, art, food, dance, and shared traditions. Events like Noche Latina remind us that education extends far beyond the classroom. They give our students opportunities to share their talents, celebrate their identities, learn from one another, and take pride in the diversity that makes our school community so special. Thank you to Spanish National Honor Society, chorus and art students, Sra. Caraballo, Mr. Crenshaw, Mrs. Mitchell and everyone who helped with this event!
