| ==History== | |||
| Punta Gorda Grammar and High School had an enrollment of 150 students when it open in 1928. Construction of a new school on Taylor Street began in 1911 due to overcrowding issues. However, by 1926 after the construction of the first bridge to cross Charlotte Harbor, bussing increased Punta Gorda's enrollment to 1,000 which in turn lead to the construction of Charlotte High School.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ccps.k12.fl.us/AboutUs.cfm?PageID=History |title=Our History |accessdate=2007-03-31| publisher=Your Charlotte County Public Schools}}</ref> | |||

After seventeen days of hiatus, the students attended ] during the 12:45 - 6 p.m. afternoon shift<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.sun-herald.com/NewsArchive2/082504/tp1ch1.htm?date=082504&story=tp1ch1.htm |title=School times set|accessdate= 2007-06-05|last=Tierney|first=Dan |date=] |publisher= Sun-Herald }}</ref> for most of the 2004-2005 school year. Afterwards, the students were moved back on campus to portables.<ref name="gbreaking"/> Charlotte High was one of the six schools in the county that were destroyed or heavily damaged<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.nea.org/neatoday/0411/stormseason.html| title=NEA Today Storm Season| accessdate=2007-02-04|author= Alain Jehlen / Dave Winans |month=November |year=2004|publisher=National Education Association |quote=In Charlotte County, where 6 of 21 schools were destroyed or heavily damaged, students were forced to attend the remaining safe schools in shifts. Some start as early as 6 a.m. Others end as late as 7:10 p.m.}}</ref> however the cafeteria and auditorium still remained intact. Despite the severe damage the three-story main building sustained, it was decided to try to save this historical landmark. The plan incorporated this building to have its entire interior to be redone, but its facade will remain and the rest of the campus will be built around its neoclassical style. A ceremony took place in late May of 2007 for the groundbreaking of the aforementioned building and the new facility that will group up to 1,800 students by class and provide a courtyard inside the linked structures. Harvard Jolly is the architectural firm working on the project.<ref name="gbreaking">{{cite web|url= http://www.sun-herald.com/Newsheadline.cfm?headline=8722&banner=2|title=Charlotte High begins rebuilding| accessdate=2007-05-25 |last=Quinn |first=Carolyn|date=2007-05-24 |publisher=Sun-Herald}} </ref> | |||
