TAMPA, Fla. — We’re happy to announce Chiles Elementary School in Tampa as our 10News School the Week powered by Duke Energy Florida.
The school opened in 2001 and it’s been an “A” school since then.
The school’s administration attributes the continued success to the teachers, students, parents and community support.
Inside the classroom, you find fifth-grade students each with their own laptop to use in class, thanks to grant funding.
