Publisher Description

Since 1868, Florida's oldest continually operating high school has been destroyed, rebuilt, moved, and refocused, existing under several names--Old Stanton High School, New Stanton High School, Stanton Vocational High School, and now Stanton College Preparatory School. Campus History Series: Stanton gives a pictorial history of the buildings, faculty, student life, and traditions that have left an indelible mark on African American life in Jacksonville through the years, reflecting also its evolution into a nationally recognized diverse student body of the highest academic caliber. Stanton's story, accomplishments, and pride are showcased through photographs obtained from a variety of school records and from generous contributions by alumni, previous staff and faculty, and their families.
