History

The school was founded in 1970, when court orders required public schools to be racially integrated. Although technically a private school, the school was largely built with funds provided by industrial revenue bonds raised by Alachua County.[2]

The school established a sister school relationship with the Changzhou #2 Middle/High School.

Facilities

The school is sited on a 44-acre (18 ha) campus and includes a 400-seat theater, art and photography center, media center, science labs, gymnasium, lighted soccer field, lighted football field, and brand new tennis courts.
