Seminole High School is a public coeducational high school located in Seminole, Florida. It is governed by the Pinellas County School District. The school's mascot is "Wally the Warhawk". The student population is approximately 2,200. ==History== Prior to the opening of the school in the late summer of 1962, students in what is now known as the Seminole area attended Largo High School or Dixie Hollins High School. With rapid growth in Seminole in the late 1950s and early 1960s, it became necessary for the newly suburban area to have its own high school. The original school consisted of what is now the main building where the administration offices are located and the front cafeteria. Seminole was the first high school in Pinellas County to be air-conditioned. The current "Warhawk" stadium was built in 1967 after a lengthy fundraising drive (Seminole Pow Wow). The auditorium, gymnasium and band facilities were built in later years. The school underwent a significant expansion in 1977 and an extensive remodeling in 1996. In the fall of 1979, the school utilized double sessions until the opening of Osceola High School in 1981. During the 1997–98 school year, Seminole became one of the first high schools in the Bay Area to institute block scheduling. However, the school returned to a seven period schedule at the start of the 2009-10 school year. The school is well regarded for its high academic and musical standards, and many families choose to purchase homes in the Seminole area because of Seminole High School's fine local reputation. Nearly 91% of the school's graduates choose to attend a college or university. Mr. Richard Misenti was named outstanding high school principal of the year by the Florida Association of School Administrators and the Florida Department of Education, He also took top honors in the district and the region for outstanding leadership in 2006.〔Lykins, Lorrie.
