About Our School
our history
The first public school for boys in Pensacola was organized in 1870. A two-story building on Wright Street was erected by the School Board in 1875. It was known as the Pensacola Academy. In 1886, a new building was erected on Lee Square, known as Public School No. 1. In 1905, the four-year high school was organized in the Public School No. 1 building.
Pensacola High is recognized as having Florida's oldest high school football program, girl's basketball program, and school year book.

vision statement
The faculty and staff of Pensacola High School recognize our responsibilities to a student body within a wide range of abilities and to a community that has provided resources.
We strive to provide an educational program to meet the present and future needs of students whether they plan to continue formal education in a college or in a vocational program or intend to enter the work force directly after graduation.
We believe the school should provide an atmosphere which recognizes that each individual student has something of value to contribute; which is conducive to good study, work, and attendance habits; which stimulates the learning process; which contributes to the understanding of the democratic process and to an appreciation of our nation’s heritage; and which develops a commitment to promote, enrich, and perpetuate the American way of life.
We encourage students to participate in a wide range of school activities, including student government, academic honors, service organizations, athletics, cultural and social events, all designed to enhance all students’ experiences.
Our goal is to prepare a well adjusted citizen able to contribute to home, school, and community
