OCPS dates back to 1869. The state of Florida passed the first school law, which established Orange County as a school district, to be governed by an appointed board of three members and run by a superintendent. What sets us apart from the rest includes that we:

• Provide the highest quality educational and extracurricular opportunities
• Are nationally recognized for instructional and operational excellence
