The Charlotte High School (also known as the Punta Gorda High School) is a historic school in Punta Gorda, Florida, United States. It is located at 1250 Cooper Street. On December 12, 1990, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
On August 13, 2004, Hurricane Charley, a Category 4 hurricane hit the Punta Gorda area causing major damage to the high school. Despite the severe damage the third story building sustained, it was decided to try to save the historical landmark. It is set to be rebuilt within the next decade.
The Charlotte County Historical Society was awarded in 2005 by the The History Channel's inaugural Save Our History Grant to partner with high school students from Port Charlotte High School and Charlotte High School. Putting aside academic and athletic rivalry, the students collaborated to preserve their community's experience through oral history.
