Evans High School is a place with high expectations for all students, faculty and staff. At Evans, teachers and students work together to build a strong, academic foundation based on state and national standards. We strive to provide a rigorous and relevant high school experience with the character, climate, culture, and curricula that is competitive with any public or private institution.

To assist our students in acquiring the skills necessary to reach their full potential, Evans High is committed to establishing a cooperative and lasting partnership between home, school, and the community. Evans will provide the necessary education for all students to be responsible and successful citizens. Our purpose is to provide Literacy, Rigor, and Relationships for all students during their years in High School.

It is important that you challenge yourself academically by selecting the most rigorous courses in which you can be successful. Some of those include our:

Be an active member of your school by participating in athletics, clubs, Navy JROTC, performing arts, and various leadership opportunities. Remember, colleges are looking for students who are actively involved in school.

The Evans Community School is a vital part of every student's overall well-being. Thanks to a strong partnership with UCF, the Children's Home Society, JP Morgan Chase, Orange Blossom Health, and OCPS, we are able to offer on-site medical services, social services, and tutoring opportunities for our students and community.

We believe that each of our students has the courage to overcome any obstacles, the energy to excel beyond expectations, and the determination to do and be their best. At Evans, we seek to make our student’s learning experiences both challenging and memorable.

With Trojan Pride,
