Hillsborough County Public Schools Out-of-School Time - The goal of H.O.S.T. is to provide the physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth and development which children need in order for them to be successful.
The rationale for combining the elementary and middle school programs into a single unit/name includes many factors.
Both programs are operated by the district and aim to provide identical, age-appropriate services.
This will also build relationships between feeder schools and establish continuity between elementary and middle school programs.
