Pedro Menendez High School is a public high school in the St. Johns County School District, located in southern St. Johns County, Florida (USA). It was named for Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, a sixteenth century Spanish admiral and pirate hunter who founded St. Augustine, the first permanent European settlement and oldest port city in what is now the continental United States, on August 28, 1565. (Menéndez also ordered the execution of over 300 survivors of a French shipwreck because they were Protestants, at a site slightly to the south of St. Augustine.)
It has a student body of over 1,000 students. The school building is a two-story octagon with an open courtyard in the center. The gymnasium and auditorium are attached on the east and west sides, respectively. The school was built simultaneously with Bartram Trail High School; Menendez was intended to relieve overcrowding at St. Augustine High School. The school opened in 2000, and graduated its first class in 2001. Their curriculum offers academy programs in the areas of business, health science, and architectural & building sciences. The advanced scholars program gives students the option to participate in the rigorous programs of advanced placement, dual enrollment and honors courses.
