Port St. Lucie High School

Port St. Lucie High School (PSLHS) is a high school in the U.S. city of Port St. Lucie, Florida. It is located in the southeast area of St. Lucie County.

The Port St. Lucie High School campus is square, with a central, open commons area. PSLHS also has a variety of athletic facilities, and is the only school with its own football stadium in St. Lucie County.

Port St. Lucie High School opened to grades 9-11 in August 1989 with an enrollment of approximately 1500 students; it included grades 9-12 thereafter. These students included others from Fort Pierce Central High School and Fort Pierce Westwood High School. PSLHS later became an International Baccalaureate school in December 2007, joining Lincoln Park Academy as the only schools in St. Lucie County with the program, as well as the only public school in the district with the IB Program.

During the 2011/2012 school year, roughly half of the school's portable classrooms in the rear of the school were demolished and replaced with more permanent, hybrid models. The other half were replaced during the summer of 2012 and began use with the 2012/2013 school year.

All 9th grade students take part in the Jaguar Preparatory Academy. All sophomores take part in the Jaguar Lyceum. 11th and 12th graders enroll in an academy based on a career interest or specialized programs, such as the International Baccalaureate Program, Visual and Performing Arts, or Applied Sciences. In total, PSLHS offers six Advanced Placement Courses, 12 Career Academies, and several additional elective programs, as well as dual anrollment courses in association with Indian River State College.

The school cut down on its Advanced Placement options from 11 available courses in the 2012-2013 school year to 6 available AP courses in the 2013-2014 school year, to encourage enrollment in the International Baccalaureate Program. The following are still offered: American Government, Calculus, English Language & Composition, Human Geography, US History, and World History.

PSLHA offers two divisions of Career Academies:

Freshmen and sophomores are isolated from the rest of the school in their core courses.
