The Tallahassee Collegiate Academy (TCA) Governing Board is proud to announce the appointment of Dr. Robin L. Oliveri as its new principal.
A respected educational leader with more than two decades of experience, Dr. Oliveri brings a dynamic blend of science expertise, instructional leadership, and a deep commitment to student achievement. A Tallahassee native and graduate of Godby High School, she began her career in public health after earning a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences from Florida State University. Her service on the West Nile Virus Surveillance Team and the Anthrax Response Team earned her two Davis Productivity Awards and contributed to published research in the field.
Driven by a passion for education, Dr. Oliveri transitioned to the classroom, where she has spent the past 24 years advancing science education in Leon County Schools. Over the last ten years, she has served in administrative roles at both the school and district levels, most recently as the Assistant Principal of Curriculum at Deerlake Middle School. Her previous leadership positions include Program Director for the Magnet Program for Science and Engineering at Cobb Middle School, Secondary Science Curriculum Developer, Director of the Capital Regional Science and Engineering Fair, and the district’s first science instructional coach. Her outstanding work earned her recognition as Godby High School’s Teacher of the Year and Leon County Schools’ District Teacher of the Year.
Dr. Oliveri holds both a master’s and a doctoral degree in Educational Leadership and is an active member of Kappa Delta Pi and multiple professional organizations, including the Florida Association of School Administrators and the International Society for Technology in Education.
“Dr. Oliveri brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and a strong vision for STEM education and student success,” said Kim Kelling, who led the search committee on behalf of the TCA Governing Board. “Her leadership will help TCA continue to grow as a model for academic excellence and innovation.”
