West Florida High School

West Florida High School of Advanced Technology is an "A" school, where accountability makes a difference.  WFHS blends required core academics with technical education, developing students' skills in communications, mathematics, science, and technology.  Experienced, expert instructors merge leading-edge technology with challenging curriculum to ensure confident graduates with a vast array of options and opportunities for successful futures.

In 2001, a group of forward-thinking community leaders and educators established West Florida High School of Advanced Technology (WFHS).  WFHS was originally, as it is today, a traditional high school offering the same opportunities to students as other high schools in the Escambia County School District.  However, in addition to the traditional high school experience, WFHS is a wall-to-wall Career Academy school.  Students have the added benefit of belonging to a career academy that further develops their skills and knowledge in a career area of interest.

West Florida High School of Advanced Technology is an innovative high school focused on providing a unique, comprehensive, useful education that will lead to lifelong personal, career and professional accomplishments.

The mission of West Florida High School of Advanced Technology is to prepare students for entry into chosen career fields or higher educational pursuits through the incorporation of quality learning experienced by the integration of academic and technical skills.

WFHS is looking for students who are motivated, ambitious, and eager to succeed in college and/or career fields.

Because learning is a valuable and lifelong process, the administration, faculty, staff and students of West Florida High School believe the following:

• Students should be provided a challenging, comprehensive curriculum and a variety of extracurricular activities.
• Students should be provided competent and professional instructors who are committed to excellence.
• Students should be provided learning experiences that prepare them to be mature, responsible citizens who make positive contributions to society.
