Principal’s Message

Thank you for your commitment to making Evans High School, “A Place of High Achievement.” We are The Pride of Pine Hills and the first certified Community Partnership School in Florida. Our focus is on Literacy, Rigor, and Relationships and our founding principles of success are “Pride, Determination, and Perseverance.”

Evans High School is a place with high expectations for all students, faculty and staff. At Evans, teachers and students work together to build a strong, academic foundation based on state and national standards. We strive to provide a rigorous and relevant high school experience with the character, climate, culture, and curriculum that is competitive with any public or private institution.

To assist our students in acquiring the skills necessary to reach their full potential, Evans High is committed to establishing a cooperative and lasting partnership between home, school, and the community. Evans will provide the necessary education for all students to be responsible and successful citizens.

It is important that students challenge themselves academically by selecting the most rigorous courses that equate to success. Some of those include:
 

• International Baccalaureate (IB): Rigorous coursework in all subject areas, meeting internationally recognized standards of achievement.
  • Pre-IB Coursework for 9th and 10 grade students preparing for the IB Diploma Program.
  • IB Diploma Program—11^th and 12^th grade International Baccaulaureate students, with coursework culminating in an IB Diploma.
• Cambridge Advanced: Internationally recognized Cambridge AICE coursework, a rigorous college preparatory curriculum designed by the University of Cambridge.
• Advanced Placement: The College Board curriculum in various courses that provides students with an opportunity to take an AP Exam and earn college credits.
• Career Technical Education (CTE): An opportunity for students to receive specific career training while in high school through Orange Technical College.
• Industry Certifications: Opportunities for training and assessment of industry-level skills in various professional fields.
• Dual Enrollment: Valencia College.

Trojans, be an active member of your school by participating in athletics, clubs, Navy JROTC, performing arts, and various leadership opportunities. Remember, colleges are looking for students who are actively involved in school.

The Evans Community School is a vital part of every student's overall well-being. Thanks to a strong partnership with UCF, the Children's Home Society, JP Morgan Chase, Orange Blossom Health, and OCPS, we are able to offer on-site medical services, social services, and tutoring opportunities for our students and community.

We believe that each of our students has the courage to overcome any obstacles, the energy to excel beyond expectations, and the determination to do and be their best. At Evans, we seek to make our student’s learning experiences both challenging and memorable.

With Trojan Pride,
Kenya Nelson-Warren
