Awards

The US Green Building Council certified the school as a LEED Silver building in May 2008, shortly after completion of the $13 million school, making it the first school in Florida to win this certification. [3]

Gulf Trace has also been certified Energy Star efficient, the first building in Pasco County to receive this rating and the first school in the Tampa Bay area. [4]

In 2011, Gulf Trace Elementary was recognized by the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) as a Five Star School, for the fourth year in a row. To qualify, the school had to have earned a grade of "C" or above in addition to 100% achievement of the required criteria in Business Partnerships, Family Involvement, Volunteers, Student Community Service, and School Advisory Councils. [5]

Gulf Trace also was awarded the FDOE's Golden School Award for the 2010–2011 school year. To achieve this they had to have at least 80% of the staff trained in volunteerism, have a designated School Volunteer Coordinator, and the total volunteer hours for the school equal at least twice the number of students enrolled. [6]
