Post by Hillsborough County Public Schools

Two of our outstanding school leaders have been recognized among the state’s best! Lipi Datta-Reid, principal of Woodson K–8 School, and Dina Langston, principal of Armwood High School, have been named recipients of the 2025–26 Principal Leadership Awards by Florida TaxWatch. Each year, this prestigious award is given to 15 principals across Florida who are making a transformational impact on student achievement while building strong school cultures and supporting their school communities. As part of the recognition, each principal also selected a student from their school to receive an Academic A+ Challenge Match Scholarship, sponsored by the Florida Prepaid College Foundation: Nicolas Stamatopoulos from Woodson K–8 School and Isaac Bernadin from Armwood High School. Congratulations to these incredible leaders and students for representing HCPS with excellence!
