History

In May 2015, Robert Basevitz, a former teacher, filed a lawsuit against Principal Schipper, superintendent of the school district Rhonda Vendetti, and the school district itself, accusing them of promoting Christianity in the school. Schipper said that the accusations were not true. [4]

Florence High school merged with the district's middle school, Fremont Middle School, beginning in the 2019–2020 school year. The middle school was closed primarily due to concerns over the building's inaccessibility to the handicapped. [5] The building of the school was purchased by Unbridled Holdings for $515,000. [6]
