TAMPA, FL — Five graduates of Hillsborough County Public Schools were honored for achieving perfect attendance during their entire educational career, from kindergarten through 12th grade. Each student attended 2,340 consecutive school days: that's 180 days for 13 straight years. To mark this achievement, these five students were guests at Tuesday's Hillsborough County School Board meeting where they received a new laptop through the Partners in Education program and a $500 scholarship from Suncoast Credit Union Foundation. The students with perfect attendance are: Justin Perez of Jefferson High School Paris Marozzelli of Plant High School Abigail Jones of Sickles High School Tanner Jones of Sickles High School Makalah Kennedy of Strawberry Crest High School "These phenomenal students have illustrated their commitment to education and excellence by reaching this impressive milestone. Their persistence and determination is impressive, and these qualities will serve them well as they transition to their postsecondary careers. I commend not only these outstanding learners, but their parents for their unending support and encouragement throughout the last 13 years," said Superintendent Addison Davis.
