Hillsborough County Public Schools named Cambridge District of the Year for 2024
Summary
Cambridge International Education honored Hillsborough County Public Schools as Cambridge District of the Year 2024 and district representatives highlighted that Cambridge ACE is now offered as a choice at all 28 district high schools.
Cambridge International Education honored Hillsborough County Public Schools as the Cambridge District of the Year for 2024, a Cambridge International Education representative said, praising the district’s five-year effort to expand Cambridge programs.
The award recognizes the district’s growth of Cambridge ACE offerings, which district officials said are now available as a choice in all 28 Hillsborough County high schools. That expansion, officials said, gives more students a pathway to advanced study and higher education.
A Hillsborough County Public Schools representative said, “We are honored; this award and this accomplishment is truly a testament to the hard work that our school administrators, school counselors, teachers, and especially our students have put in over the past five years to make Cambridge and Hillsborough County a success.”
The district representative described the Cambridge ACE program as a choice across the district’s 28 high schools and said students who completed Cambridge ACE testing earned the highest possible marks. “Giving ACE Cambridge as a choice for all 28 of our high schools, every student has an opportunity to elevate their education and provide an opportunity for another pathway not only to higher education but higher learning,” the Hillsborough County Public Schools representative said.
A local resident attending the event praised teachers and staff, saying, “I’ve been in Hillsborough County all my life. I think that the teachers, the staff, the students are truly amazing. I think that this amazing award that they truly deserve.”
The remarks at the event centered on recognition and program expansion; no motions or formal board actions were announced during these remarks. The district’s account of program reach (28 high schools) and the award title (Cambridge District of the Year, 2024) were the principal factual points shared by speakers.
Further details about selection criteria for the Cambridge District of the Year award, the number or names of students who received top marks, and any next steps for expanding Cambridge offerings were not specified in the remarks.
