Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, November 3, 2026 — The Pasco County School Board has officially approved the closure of Fox Hollow Elementary School, located in Port Richey. The decision, made in response to declining student enrollment figures, will take effect at the conclusion of the current school year.
Students who currently attend Fox Hollow Elementary will be reassigned to other schools within the district. This action is part of a broader district strategy aimed at optimizing the use of available educational space and initiating improvements at other nearby campuses. The plan also includes revamping academic programs at Gulf Highlands Elementary and Schrader Elementary.
These two elementary schools are slated to receive new academic focuses. The proposed enhancements are set to include the introduction of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs and a greater emphasis on career exploration opportunities for students.
