Big news today from @CollierGov! Growth will continue to pay for growth. 👏
Big thanks to the Collier County Board of Commissioners @CollierGov! Updated impact fees mean future schools for our growing community and generations of students. Growth pays for growth—and that’s smart planning. #CCPSFamily #PublicSchoolProud

This was a pleasure to witness in person today. ⬇️🇺🇸
WATCH to the end - first graders sing a moving tribute to our heroes. @ManateeCCPS honored 9/11 by celebrating today’s heroes in their first-ever Heroes’ Walk.
Students greeted firefighters, nurses & law enforcement with banners, cards & heartfelt thanks. #NeverForget #CCPSProud

Financial literacy & life skills at the A-rated Lely High School. @WeAreLely 👏💰
It was a great day at LHS. We are fortunate to be able to have partnered with Suncoast Credit Union for a Student Run Branch. Such an incredible opportunity for our students to learn financial skills and do their banking right here on campus!! @SuncoastCU @collierschools

Authentic leadership from someone who truly values & prioritizes communication, congratulations @SupRicciardelli! Nationwide recognition adds more shine to our greater community. It also provides a platform to share best practices. 👏#NSPRA2025 ⬇️
Today the National School Public Relations Association recognized @SupRicciardelli as one of only 25 nationwide “Superintendents to Watch.” Honorees have fewer than five years of experience as a superintendent and demonstrate dynamic, fast-paced leadership with strong communication at its core. @NSPRA #CCPSProud #NSPRA2025

Love it when people take the time to say ‘thank you.’ In this instance, on a massive tennis ball! @PalmettoRidgeHS Girls Tennis team and their parents showing appreciation for helping them attend this year’s @MiamiOpen. #CCPSFamily

I really enjoy putting this piece together with videographer David Delene. Fewer students are taking part in what was once a rite of passage…
It’s inspiring to see students pushing the boundaries of creativity, problem-solving, & critical thinking. 12 Collier County students traveled to the State Science & Engineering Fair of FL late last month. WATCH as we tag along to get an inside look at this impressive competition! #CCPSSuccess #CCPSProud
