High School III in northeast St. Johns County will be located off Beachwalk Boulevard within the Twin Creeks development. This project is included in the School District’s Five-Year District Facilities Work Plan. An architectural contract with SchenkelShultz Architecture was approved at the July 14, 2020 School Board meeting for the reuse of a prototype design.

The planned student station count for High School III is approximately 2,100. This school was designed by utilizing a reuse of a middle/high school from another school district that was adapted to the best practices of the St. Johns County School District. It is comprised of five separate buildings surrounding a secure courtyard. These five buildings comprise the following; Administration/Media Center, Auditorium,Gymnasium, Cafeteria and a Classroom Building. Classrooms exist in all buildings except the Cafeteria, but the majority are housed in the three-story classroom building. This building houses general education classes, ESE classes and science labs, along with a collaborative concourse on each floor. These collaborative areas will provide a space for project-based learning, small group instruction and flexible groupings.

The project is scheduled to bid and begin construction this fall/winter. The facility is projected for completion in Summer 2022 and to open for the 2022-2023 School Year.
