School Notes:
  • Florida State University School, or "Florida High", is located within the Southwood community in the southeast part of Tallahassee, Florida, USA. A charter school that serves kindergarten and grades one through twelve, Florida High is sponsored by Florida State University's College of Education. The school was founded in 1857 as the Primary Department of the Florida Institute, and from 1954 until 2001, was located on the FSU campus. However, the university's interest in building a medical school where Florida High was located forced the school to relocate off campus. In 2001, the new Florida High building in Southwood was opened.
  • Florida High provides research and development opportunities for educators as well as providing a laboratory for teacher education. It has approximately 1600 students that represent Florida's population demographics. The school has strong programs in the academics, as well as award-winning art, foreign language, and athletic programs.
  • FSUS's goal is to be a magnet to draw collaborating schools, districts, university and corporate partners into grant development and cooperative ventures benefiting grades K-12 education. FSUS is a demonstration school for exploring and refining results-based innovative teaching techniques as well as being a professional teacher education center where inservice and preservice teachers may observe and participate in exemplary teacher practices; and a vehicle for the dissemination of research findings that have proven effective.
  • FSUS and the Florida State University schools collaborate for research, observations, etc. with Florida State University, Florida A&M University, and Tallahassee Community College. After the school's relocation to Southwood, there was some consideration of the school severing its ties with the university. However, that proposal was soundly rejected by Florida High's faculty.
