School Notes:
  • J.M. Tate High School is a secondary school in Gonzalez, Florida, USA. The school is part of the Escambia County School District.
  • History: Tate High School was founded in 1878 by James Madison Tate Sr., a Civil War veteran, minister and former lawyer. The school was originally called Roberts High School and was one of the first high schools established in Escambia County. The original school building was one room with a sawdust floor; students sat on wooden benches. Initially, Tate taught all of the grades himself. Tate taught at Roberts high until 1913, when he retired.
  • In 1917, the James Madison Tate Sr. Agricultural School was completed. The school was a two-story brick building with eight classrooms. The establishment of the agricultural school advanced the agricultural programs already in place at the original Roberts High.
  • In 1927, O.A. Strange became principal of Tate High School. During his 24-year tenure as head of the school, 10 buildings were added to the campus and the school transformed from a small rural school to a modern high school.
  • Athletics: During the early days of Tate High, there was no football equipment, so the school's main sports were basketball and baseball. Tate's baseball team won the national championships in 1984 and has won seven state championships since 1960.
  • A football team was eventually established at the school, and the team, coached by Carl Madison,the schools alltime leader in wins, won the state championship in 1980, finishing the season with a No. 4 national ranking.
