Area Profile
In the past ten years, the city of Oviedo and its surrounding area, which together constitute the Oviedo High School attendance zone, have dramatically changed from a primarily agrarian support community of approximately 5,000 people to a full service, suburban community of nearly 50,000.
Some of the most prominent cultural and commercial influences upon this community include post-secondary institutions, research industries, major tourist attractions and film production agencies. Amongst the post-secondary educational institutions considered “local” by the community are Seminole and Valencia community colleges, Rollins College, the University of Central Florida, and Stetson University.

Famous quotes containing the words area and/or profile:
“Many women are reluctant to allow men to enter their domain. They don’t want men to acquire skills in what has traditionally been their area of competence and one of their main sources of self-esteem. So while they complain about the male’s unwillingness to share in domestic duties, they continually push the male out when he moves too confidently into what has previously been their exclusive world.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
“Nature centres into balls,
And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
