In 2001, the new Florida High building in Southwood was opened.

Relationship with FSU

FSUS is a demonstration school for exploring teaching techniques as well as being an education center where teachers may observe and participate in best teacher practices; and a vehicle for the dissemination of research findings. 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 rejected by Florida High's faculty.

Student body

Florida High has approximately 1600 students that represent Florida's population demographics. The school has programs in the academics, as well as art, foreign language, and athletic programs.

In the spring of 2007, Florida High's girls basketball team defeated Parkway High School to win the 3A State Championship. During the fall of 2007, Florida High's football team posted a perfect regular season record including a 40-0 shutout of Leon County High School, the oldest and largest high school in Tallahassee.
