Congratulations to the St. Petersburg Collegiate High School’s Gibbs and North Pinellas campuses for receiving the prestigious designation as a Florida Department of Education “School of Excellence” for the 2022-2023 academic year. First-year recipient, SPCHS North Pinellas, ranked #1 in Pinellas County and the Tampa Bay area and ranked #10 in the state for percentage points earned toward the school grades. SPCHS Gibbs has received this designation for six consecutive years and landed in the top 20 in the state. Pinellas County only had five high school recipients and two of them were SPCHS schools. In addition, both campuses saw an increase in their percentage of points earned from the 2021-2022 school year to the 2022-2023 school year.
