The Charlotte High School (also known as the Punta Gorda High School) is a free historic public secondary school in Punta Gorda, Florida, United States serving ninth through twelfth graders. It is located at 1250 Cooper Street. On December 12, 1990, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Despite the severe damage the third story building sustained, it was decided to try to save the historical landmark. It along with the rest of the campus, is set to be fully rebuilt within the next decade.
Hurricane Charley hit the Punta Gorda area on August 13, 2004 as a Category 4 hurricane, causing major damage to the high school. Charlotte High was one of six schools in the county that were destroyed or heavily damaged, CHS students were forced to attend Port Charlotte High School during the afternoon shift for the 2004-2005 school year.
The History Channel's inaugural Save Our History Grant was awarded in 2005 to the Charlotte County Historical Society, in partnership with high school students from Charlotte High School and Port Charlotte High School. Putting aside academic and athletic rivalry, the students collaborated to preserve their community's experience through oral history.
Despite the damage done to the building, the school continues to maintain a number of successful sports and academic teams. The Model United Nations team has won top honors at many state, reigonal, and national conferences. The school Thespian Troupe innaugurated the Charlotte County Performing Arts Center black-box theatre with a performance of 12 Angry Men that won critical accolades. The school's United States Academic Decathlon has twice competed at the national level as state champions.
