On the Scene: CEOs in Schools (PHOTOS)

Tampa Bay area senior executives volunteered in Hillsborough County public elementary schools as part of the educational program CEOs in Schools. Each business leader was paired with a local school and experienced a day in the life of educators, and students, with the opportunity to share their own business knowledge with principals, teachers and the next generation of professionals.

These photos were taken at Lockhart Elementary, a magnet school in Tampa, where Hillsborough Education Foundation CEO Kim Jowell and Brian Butler, CEO of Vistra Communications, spent time with students and teachers.
