School Overview

The **North Tampa EPIC 3 Center** (often referred to as the North Tampa Education Program) is a specialized alternative learning facility operating under the Hillsborough County Public Schools district. Designed to serve students who may require a non-traditional educational environment, the program focuses on providing academic instruction and behavioral support tailored to the unique needs of its student population.
