Oviedo High School is a grade 9-12 public secondary school set on a 52-acre (210,000 m2) campus in Oviedo, Florida, a growing community situated in southeastern Seminole County operated by Seminole County Public Schools. The “Oviedo School” was established in 1932 as a comprehensive K-through-12 educational facility; members of the first graduating class received their diplomas in 1935. The secondary grades separated from the elementary in 1948, and the upper level, which moved to the current site in 1969, became Oviedo High School, now one of the oldest schools in Central Florida. The school recently underwent a $50 million renovation project. The school newspaper is the "Lion's Tale", an award-winning paper recognized by the National Scholastic Press Association, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and the Florida Scholastic Press Association. Six out of the last eight years Oviedo High School has been rated an “A” school by the Governor's A+ Plan for Education, more than any other high school in Seminole County.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“There, do not start,
child, nor toss about;
only calm and high pride
can help your hurt:
fate tries all alike.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
