Port Charlotte High School (PCHS) is a four-year, comprehensive, U.S. public high school located in Port Charlotte, Florida and is located adjacent to Charlotte Technical College. The school opened in 1981, graduated its first class in 1984, its mascot is the pirate, and the school motto is "Yes, I am a Pirate." [1] It is operated by Charlotte County Public Schools. [4]

Contents

At one point in time, Port Charlotte High School was the largest high school in Charlotte County, with 2,082 students enrolled in grades Grades 9 through 12. [5] Enrollment was traditionally based on students' geographic locations, [6] but is now by choice under the more recently created open enrollment program. [7]

The school has grown much, and it survived Hurricane Charley in 2004 and Hurricane Ian in 2022. The school's main feeders are Murdock Middle School, Port Charlotte Middle School, and Punta Gorda Middle School. [8] The school's top athletic rivals are Charlotte High School [9] and Lemon Bay High School. [10] PCHS has educated two National Football League players and one Major League Baseball player who also played in the 2008 Summer Olympics.

History

The school was originally built in 1981, and opened its doors that year for 9th and 10th graders. For each of the next two years, a class was added, and PCHS graduated its first class in 1984. The original "G" and "B" buildings were completed in 1983. [10] The auditorium was built in 1984. [10] The science building, also known as A building, was built in 1987. [10] The BB building was built in 1990. [10] A swimming pool was added in 1991. [10] The "C building", which houses the library and some classrooms, was built in 2001. [10] In 2003, the new "B building", the two story academic classroom building, was finished. [10] In 2007, the new gym was finished. [1] The new gym did not replace the older one, but rather, was an addition. [1]

Hurricane Charley

On August 13, 2004, Hurricane Charley brought devastation to the Port Charlotte region. [11] Although Port Charlotte High School suffered only minor damage from the hurricane, other regional high schools suffered significant damage. [12] In the aftermath, Port Charlotte High School shared its facility with the students of Charlotte High School, with Port Charlotte High School students attending morning class and Charlotte High School students attending in the evening. [13] Later in September, Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne prompted Charlotte County Schools to be closed once again. In total, the three hurricanes caused students to miss 13 days of school during the 2004–2005 school year, requiring make-up days that infringed on student and staff days-off. [14] [15]

Westboro Baptist Church protest

Port Charlotte High School has a Gay-Straight Alliance club. [16] On December 19, 2005, the club attracted protestors from the recognized hate group Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas. Then 17-year-old Asher Levine, the club's founder and leader at the time, attempted to organize a counter-protest despite school officials prohibiting it, but some students laughed at the situation. [17]

COVID-19 pandemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Charlotte County Public Schools system reopened, albeit delayed, for the 2020–2021 school year after closing in spring during the 2019–2020 school year at the order of Governor Ron DeSantis. [18] The school reported the first case of the virus among the school system during the pandemic on September 8, a day after school reopened. The school went on to record at least 75 cases of the virus in students and staff, more than any other school in the county. [19] Unlike the previous school year, in which graduation ceremonies were held virtually due to the pandemic, Port Charlotte High School hosted a graduation ceremony at Charlotte Sports Park. [20]

In the subsequent school year, still amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the Charlotte County Public Schools system reopened once again, this time during a surge of the virus throughout the state, including in Charlotte County. [21] Unlike the beginning of the previous school year, some teachers and students would be vaccinated against the disease, but not all. [22] In total, 276 cases of the virus were reported among students and staff from the day the school reopened on August 10, with the first case being reported the very day the school reopened. [19]

While COVID-19 cases were initially reported for the 2022–2023 school year, the dashboard which Charlotte County Public Schools ran was eventually phased out. [19]

Hurricane Ian

On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian brought considerable wind as well as flooding and storm surge damage to the Port Charlotte region. All schools and ancillary facilities in the Charlotte County Public Schools system received considerable injury from Ian. However, Port Charlotte High School was one of the 19 schools in Charlotte County able to re-open 3 weeks after the schools had been forced to close due to the storm. [23] [24] [25] The school was closed for another day due to Hurricane Nicole in early November, which passed northeast of the school and brought tropical storm conditions to the area. [26] In total, 16 school days were missed because of the systems during the 2022–2023 school year. Because of damage to the football field and weight room, the football team had to play the rest of their games away from home and players were forced to weight lift on the school tennis court under a tent. Despite that the Pirates secured their first district title since 2013 following a win against Braden River. [27] [28]

Academics

Recognition

In 2009, Port Charlotte High School was recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of America's best high schools and a "Bronze Medal School" [29] for academic excellence. PCHS was one of 1,189 schools nationwide to receive a bronze medal. [30]

Teacher recognition

In 1991, AP world history teacher and Model United Nations coach Bob Johnson was named Charlotte County teacher of the year. He would also be one of the five finalists for Florida's teacher of the year and was named Charlotte County teacher of the year in 2007. [31] [32] [33] In 2003, AP literature teacher, English department chair, and former football and baseball coach Eric Bishop won the Charlotte County teacher of the year award. [34] Music teacher Michelle Kasanofsky was named Charlotte County teacher of the year and was awarded a Shine Award by Governor Rick Scott in 2013. [35] [36] AP literature teacher Lisa Branno-Penwall was named Charlotte County teacher of the year in 2023. [37]

Port Charlotte High School currently has 15 English teachers, 17 math teachers, 8 intensive reading teachers, 14 science teachers, 15 social studies teachers, 8 foreign language teachers, 14 vocational teachers, 5 exceptional student education (for students with disabilities) teachers, and 1 ESOL teacher. [38] There are seven periods in a school day. [39] The school has a student/teacher ratio of 23.39. [40] The curriculum is based on the Sunshine State Standards. [41] Because of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the school's grade for the 2019–2020 school year was not calculated by the Florida Department of Education. [42]

For almost two decades, the PCHS Model United Nations Academic Team has been recognized as one of the very best Model UN teams in the country or its winning performances at conferences at both the national and international levels. [46] In 2012, PCHS MUN was ranked the fourth best Model United Nations team in the United States by Best Delegate, a Model United Nations Database recognized all over the world.

They also present six-week-long public speaking/debate seminars at several local elementary schools. The seminars culminate in a public debate between teams from the elementary schools. The event is attended by over 200 friends and relatives. [45] [47]

The Naval Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NJROTC) is a program allowing high school students to participate in the academic and physical training aspect of naval service, while also providing leadership opportunities to those involved in the program. [48] It does not require a commitment to military service following high school graduation. [49] Port Charlotte's NJROTC program was established in the early 1990s; since then, it has grown significantly. The company of cadets are overseen and instructed by two retired United States Navy personnel, [50] who are in turn overseen by the United States Navy itself through the form of Area Managers. [51] Port Charlotte's unit is a member of NJROTC Area Seven, and is known for service to its community. [52]

The Pirate NJROTC unit has received many awards over the years, including, but not limited to the "Distinguished Unit Award," which it has been awarded over seven consecutive academic years - 2001–2007. [53] The unit is a part of Area 7, which consists of units in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. [54]

The unit has seven "teams" within its infrastructure that allow participating cadets to receive extracurricular training and experience of their choice: an armed and unarmed Drill Team, Color Guard, honor guard, academic team, orienteering team, marksmanship team and a physical training ("PT") team. [55] The teams compete against other Area Seven units at colleges, universities, military installations, and other high schools. The teams also compete with other units across the United States. [56]
