Student Body
Buchholz contains two magnet programs, the Academy of Finance and the Academy of Entrepreneurship. As a result, the school contains a credit union known as the "Bobcat Branch," which is division of the Florida Credit Union, and operated by students in the Academy of Finance. The "Spirit Spot" is a retail outlet whose products are envisioned and marketed by the Academy of Entrepreneurship. The students hail from all over the city due to their county School Board's zoning laws, and represent the vast ethnic and religious diversity that is ever-present in Gainesville. A vast array of classes and activities are available to the student body from "Student Cabinet"(a student-run organization designed to involve students in the affairs of the school) to Advanced Placement courses. Buchholz is also known locally for its school spirit in all facets of student activity within the school. Students are able to enroll from grades 9 through 12.

Of root, shoot, blossom or clay
Makes no demand.

Or grope with a dirty hand.”
