Campus and History
The Port St. Lucie High School campus is a box shaped campus 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; grades 9 - 12 thereafter. These students were made up of 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.
