A high school in St. Petersburg, Florida. It is the oldest High School in St. Petersburg and has an IB program. The main building was finished in 1898 and the first graduating class was c/o 1901. It was heralded as the finest school building in the South, with a stage like the greatest theaters in the world.
The abundance of retirees in Florida has caused the state budget to focus away from public education, especially in the past fifty years, and the campaign to "Give the Devil his Due" is now underway, raising money for this fine highschool.
It now consists of not only the main building, but the Bell Science Building, the Social Studies and Media Building, the band building, the gymnasium and the cafeteria. Athletic fields are to the west. The main building, the oldest of them all is widely considered the most beautiful from an architectual standpoint. It is of a Spanish style and was designed by William B. Ittner.

A school, not like any other school. This school is the first school in Florida to have the I.B. program. A program, which, super smart kids go to so that they can be better than everyone else. Over 50% of the I.B. population is Asian, this is because Asians are smarter than the white and black folk, unless you are French. An interesting fact of the students of the I.B. is that 1/4 of them consider suicide from the work and stress overload, testimonies have stated that children can possibly get over 9 hours of school work a day. Of this 25% of students contemplating suicide, about half of them go through with it, so they don't have to go through the hassle of completing high school.
St. Pete High School was founded by the all famous, Ponce De Leon during his early explorations. This is where the Spanish architecture came from. Also, after Leon founded and supported the school, he left for Cuba. Weeks later, he got a message that students were killing themselves from the work overload. Leon, realizing what he created and how many lives he may take, killed himself in 1521.
But once you overlook the sad history of the school, you will feel proud if you can make it through, your life will be successful, but since all your friends killed themselves, guess you won't have anyone to boast about your paycheck to.

My friend Eric got to Junior year at St. Pete High then killed himself. Jamie almost made it through St. Pete High, but killed herself right before the Senior I.B. exams. I got through the damn school and have my own plantation.
