2020-2021 School Year Begins
The 2020-2021 school year officially started on August 17th at our St. Petersburg/Gibbs and Tarpon Springs (North Pinellas) locations. Due to the ongoing pandemic, both campuses were able to implement new technology and resources to allow for families to choose remote learning or a return to face to face learning. With the support of St. Petersburg College, teachers and staff have implemented innovative and creative ways to help welcome our new sophomores and continue to the strong level of education our students receive. The Collegiate High School staff working closely with the St. Petersburg College leadership has implemented new protocols focused on sanitizing and social distancing to ensure our students and staff have a safe environment to learn.
Additional resources, including latest announcements and FAQs, can be found in the college’s COVID-19 Information Hub.
