Welcome!

Welcome! I am honored to serve as Superintendent of Pinellas County Schools. As a proud graduate of Largo High School and a lifelong resident of Pinellas County, I carry a deep personal commitment to the success of every student in our district.

Nearly 90 percent of our schools received an A or B grade from the Florida Department of Education. But we are not resting on our achievements. Instead, we are raising the bar even higher.

Academic excellence is just one part of the equation. We are equally committed to nurturing a climate and culture of collaboration, safety, innovation, and well-being. From early childhood education to college and career readiness, we are accelerating efforts to ensure every student has the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential.

We are guided by our core values that shape who we are and how we serve:

• Our Commitment to Children, Families and Community drives every decision we make.
• We build Respectful and Caring Relationships with our students, families, staff, and community.
• We act with Integrity, ensuring honesty, transparency, and accountability.
• We model Responsibility, taking ownership of our mission and commitments.
• We foster Connectedness to ensure everyone feels a sense of belonging.
• We embrace Cultural Competence, celebrating the rich diversity of our community and advancing equity for all.

Sincerely, 
Kevin K. Hendrick 
Superintendent
