Principal’s Message

Welcome to Poinciana High School where our strength is in our diversity. Our dedicated staff takes pride in an “our students” mentality as we genuinely believe that every student can learn and achieve the starting point of graduation.

​Together we commit to best instructional practices from Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) to developing character traits through Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) that result 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 this 2025-2026 school year is PHS: Passport To Success.  We have the #1 graduation rate and 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 an expectation for your student each school day to come home and teach you or explain what they did in class that day.  Set up incentives and consequences at home depending upon whether your student meets this expectation or not.  If we work together as a team to support the learning of our students, the sky is the limit!

 

Testimonials

nursing

“I have been in the Nursing program for 2 years. As a nursing student, I have learned many new skills, such as patient care. The program also helped me realize what field of nursing I want to go in to. I have decided to go into Nursing Anesthetics because of the PHS Nursing program.” -Makaylah, Student

“I am a student from OBA [Osceola Business Academy], and I have been here since my freshman year. Now as a senior, OBA really gave me a strong foundation to build to help develop my skills and balance out my life. OBA prepares the young generation to face the real world from day one and having great teachers and the encouragement we get from our staff is amazing." -Taran, Student

"I am a part of the new HVAC/ Dual Enrollment Program here. The program takes a headfirst initiative jumping right into content with interactive videos with our teacher Mrs. Cassidy. She wanted a hands-on classroom style starting out showing tools that she actively used in the work field from hammers to, impact drills, and screwdrivers. Once we were more knowledgeable, we started working with training boards to teach us how to make a proper circuits and what to avoid when hooking up a circuit. Staying in the program is helping me deepen, strengthen, and refine." -Christopher, Student

JROTC

“I’m really proud to be a student at Poinciana High School. NJROTC has helped me prepare because it’s giving me leadership opportunities and to learn right from wrong. Whether it’s being respectful or knowing things, it gives me a chance to go to the military through a recruiter or I could submit a scholarship for college. It just opens many opportunities for me.” -Leeandra, Poinciana High Student
