1958 Birch Run E, Orange Park, FL 32073

Orange Park High School is such a special place! The teachers are some of the most pure-hearted, compassionate, and skilled people I have ever met. Truly inspiring place to walk the halls of, and it has inspired me to pursue education. Administration here fosters a culture of family and looking out for one another. There are several teacher, staff, and admin who have a long tenure at OPHS because of its deep roots in the Orange Park community, being built in 1959. Athletics, while not amazing records, are extremely well-managed, with caring coaches, and great facilities. The CTE (Career and Technical Education) options, for students looking to go into some area of the trades after high school, are vast at OP including Automotive, Welding, Carpentry, Engineering, Manufacturing, Early Childhood, Nursing, Culinary, Emergency Medical, Firefighting, Banking, and Digital Design. The Art and Ceramics programs are extremely well-rounded as well, with seasoned artists as the teachers of those classes. OPHS leaders highlight student and teachers who Rise above the rest, and establish valuable partnerships with the community, as a Children's Home Society Community Partnership School. The alumni network at Orange Park is wide and chances are a Clay County resident knows someone who is a Raider alum! Overall, this is a wonderful school whose motto is Outshine Perception for a reason. You might drive by and see an old high school campus with mid-century architecture, but OPHS truly has a heart and culture like no other, and you have to step inside and talk to the staff and students to know this.

The school administration is really helpful and supportive. I would like to thank each and every one of them, especially Ms. Tosha and Ms. Spinello.
