Principal’s Message
Dear Parents and Friends:
It is hard to believe that the school year is almost over, and on behalf of our administration,
faculty and staff, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their efforts in making this
very “different” year, an incredible year.
Everyone has done an exceptional job following all of the required COVID guidelines such as wearing
masks and social distancing. With many of our teachers simultaneously teaching students virtually and
in person, I am so proud of how all have embraced the “change” and worked together to develop first
class strategies for instruction. Although it has been challenging, all have risen to the occasion.
Our students have excelled in the classroom, the athletic arena, the arts, and in so many other areas
and activities that are offered at our school. We are really excited about the 2021-2022 school year,
and it is quite evident that we will continue to raise the bar for student success. As you are probably
aware, our Wall-to-Wall Academy model with certification opportunities continues to be a model for
change, and we continue to be recognized on the national level.
Recently, The Washington Post rated our school the most challenging high school in Pinellas
County, as we have more rigorous (AP, AICE, Dual Enrolment) opportunities for our students when
compared to any other school in our district! 86% of our seniors received college credit last year,
which gave us the highest acceleration rate in the district! On several occasions, Clearwater High
School has been recognized by the National Career Academy Coalition and, and the International
Center for Leadership and Education as a model school for our continued leadership in education.
The availability of industry certifications, internship opportunities, and rigorous courses, truly
prepares our students to be college and career ready.
It is quite evident that our Wall- to-Wall Academy model, with industry certification and
internship opportunities, the dress code, and the appropriate use of electronic devices are influential
factors in our success. Just like every year, the Modified Student Uniform Dress Code will start on
the first day of school. Please re-familiarize yourself with the code, and feel free to contact your
child’s assistant principal for clarification. The new dress code is listed on our website, and hard
copies are available in our main office.
Congratulations to the class of 2021! You have made us proud, and we look forward to hearing
about all of your successes as you move on to bigger and better opportunities.
Please contact us if you have any questions, or if you need assistance in any way. Again, thank you
for your continued support throughout the year, and I hope you have a GREAT TORNADO SUMMER!
