It is my privilege to serve as Superintendent of Seminole Country Public Schools (SCPS). Our premiere national district continues to maintain an "A-rating," from the Florida Department of Education. The School Board and I work diligently to ensure Seminole County Public Schools has the tools in place to sustain student growth and success, but it would be impossible to achieve our goals without the high quality teachers, administrators and staff in our schools and our involved and engaged families, business partners and community members. Thank you for all you do to support our students and schools. 

There are several SCPS recent accomplishments that I am proud to share with you. Our graduation rate for the 2017-2018 School Year is 91.7%, a 3.1% increase from the previous year and 5.6% above the state average (86.1%). Our most current graduation rate is ranked first (1) in Central Florida districts, second (2) of the 17 largest districts, and tenth (10) of all Florida districts.

Two of our Magnet Schools, Idyllwilde Elementary Future Ready Academy and Wicklow Elementary Magnet School for Global Pathways, have recently been approved as candidate schools for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). These schools are currently pursuing authorization to become IB PYP World Schools. IB World Schools share the common philosophy of a commitment to high-quality, challenging, and international education.

The Magnet Schools of America association has awarded many of our magnet schools and programs awards of recognition for their high performance and academic achievement. The following Seminole County Public Schools have been named a National Magnet School of Excellence: Crooms Academy of Information Technology, Midway Elementary School of the Arts, and Milwee Middle School - Pre-Engineering Magnet.
