    The teachers and all the staff are so nice and happy, unless you act bad but that's what they are supposed

    This marker is located in front of the gate of Tallahassee's Leon High School. It is easily…read morereadable though access during school hours could be a challenge. It reads, "The first Leon Academy opened in 1827, three years after Tallahassee's founding, and operated until the mid-1840s. In 1869, the Leon County Board of Public Instruction established separate schools for whites and blacks. In 1871, the county opened the Leon Academy as a public school for whites and, in 1885, constructed a two-story brick building on Tennessee Street between Duval and Bronough streets. The Board of Public Instruction passed a resolution in 1903 establishing a 12-grade high school known as Leon Graded and High School. A new school was dedicated on Park Avenue in 1911. On March 27, 1927, the Board of Public Instruction purchased 31.7 acres of McDougal Pasture for $22,000. Efforts by Mode L. Stone, Tallahassee's supervising principal of public schools, and a 1935 bond referendum and a loan from the Emergency Administration of Public Works led to the construction of the present school in 1936. Architect M. Leo Elliott designed the Mediterranean Revival/Italian Renaissance style building with its distinctive barrel tile roof with wide eaves and decorative rafter tails. The school had 50 classrooms, a cafeteria, kitchen, library and an auditorium. The new Leon High School was dedicated on May 28, 1937." Leon High School is one of the oldest high schools in the country, founded 14 years before Florida joined the Union. Construction of this building at 550 East Tennessee Street was funded by the Works Progress Administration. Until 1967 and school integration, this school was "whites only" but enrollment lately is 33% black. Leon High School's colors are red and white. Much like Yelp. Go Lions!
