BROOKSVILLE â Itâs been a remarkable year for Hernando County schools, which have worked diligently to manage schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the administrators who worked on the task force charged with creating the countyâs system of three different schooling options to deal with the crisis was Weeki Wachee High School principal Troy LaBarbara. At the helm of the high school since 2012, he recently learned he was chosen as the school districtâs 2020 Principal of the Year. âI was very shocked because there are so many good colleagues out there â so many good people deserving,â he said.
