Message from Principal Schwartz
Welcome to Poinciana High School, where our strength lies in our diversity. Our dedicated staff takes pride in an “our students” mentality, as we genuinely believe that every student can learn and achieve, with graduation as the starting point.
Together, we commit to best instructional practices, from Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) to developing character traits through Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), resulting in responsible, productive students.
We accept no excuses in our commitment to preparing and marketing students for as many college and career opportunities as possible.
It is truly my honor to serve the school community of Poinciana High School as we collaborate always in the best interest of our students.
The theme for the 2025-2026 school year is PHS: Passport to Success. We have the #1 graduation rate and the most professional industry certifications earned among all comprehensive high schools in the district. We increased in all state-tested subjects last year.
Adventure awaits—come begin the journey with us as we are intentional and deliberate about maximizing student learning together as a PHS school community.
Parents, you are the most valuable members of our team. Please set the expectation for your student to come home each day and teach or explain what they learned in class. Establish incentives and consequences at home depending on whether your student meets this expectation.
If we work together as a team to support student learning, the sky is the limit!
