This is STPPS ::..
As a leader in education, we educate every child, every day for a successful tomorrow. What better way to showcase our School System than to have our students lead you on tours of their schools!
Each month, we will showcase different school tours to highlight what makes STPPS a special place.
Our latest tour visits Creekside Junior High. From classroom chickens to virtual reality activities, students at Creekside benefit from Gator Nation Innovation.
