Dear Parent and Guardians:We are approaching the end of first semester. In about two weeks, both Middle and High School students will be taking Exams.  Many of our students will be returning to their zone school or to another Pinellas County school.  You will be receiving a letter from Pinellas Secondary the week of December 18, 2017, notifying you of what school your child will be returning to. This placement is done by the Pupil Assignment Office.  Please read the information and contact the new school to make an appointment for registration.  We have had a very successful first semester and thank you for all your support and allowing us to serve your child.Darren W. Hammond. Principal

Overcoming ObstaclesWatercolor artist, Dean Mitchell well known for his figurative works, landscapes and still lifes visited Ms. Paight’s class during the Great American Teach-In. Mitchell overcame much skepticism, even  Mitchell's mother told him, “You can't make a living as a black man painting pictures.”Later in his career,  Mitchell went on to win a $2,000 prize at a London art competition, and was dismayed when Hallmark officials told him to quit entering art contests and to concentrate solely on his illustration work at the company. Mitchell wanted to do both.After leaving Hallmark, Mitchell supported himself by entering art competitions and gallery shows. This led to more gallery shows, solo exhibits at museums, more people buying his paintings and more invitations to show his work at prestigious shows and festivals across the country.Mitchell very generously donated to our Art Library his book, “The Art of Dean Mitchell” full of his watercolors and the stories behind them.
