The school celebrated its 100th anniversary in [[2001]] and graduated its 100th class of seniors in [[2005]]; however, the school has not always been at its current location. It was moved to Maxwell Street in [[1952]]. In [[1969]], a fire gutted the previous school building on Lee Square, prompting its demolition. Currently, it is the oldest secondary school in Pensacola.
The school is part of the [[Escambia County School District]]. The former principal, Norm Ross, is now the Deputy Superintendent of Schools for the county. Currently, the principal is Sara LewisDavid Williams.
After [[Hurricane Ivan]], which struck the Pensacola area on [[September 16]], [[2004]], Pensacola High School was damaged, especially in the gym (one of the four towering walls was completely destroyed). While large renovations were needed, the school remained open and in operation. The gymnasium, which had only recently been remodeled, was demolished in [[June 2005]] and will be rebuilt in time for the 2007-2008 school year.
