Orlando High School

Orlando High School was a high school located in Orlando, Florida, United States. The first high school class, which was composed of 11 students, met in the second story of a frame schoolhouse graduated in 1892. In 1921 the school was relocated to a red brick building designed by Frederick H. Trimble on North Parramore Avenue. In 1952, Orlando High School closed, with students being split to two new schools, which were to be named North and South. On the final day of classes at OHS the principal died of a heart attack at his desk, after serving 31 years as the school's only principal at that location. South Orlando chose the name of William R. Boone High School in his honor.[1] In 1987 the building was repurposed as Howard Middle School.[2]
