From 1911 to 1914, the Panama City High School building was built from red bricks, and opened at the corner of Harrison Avenue and Seventh Street in Panama City. The first teacher was Annie McDonald, who taught all four high school grade levels. The first school graduation was in 1918, with a class of three. The Panama City High School building was later used for the school for First Presbyterian Church. It was located at 819 East 11th Street, Panama City. From 1937 to 1944, Richard V. Moore served as principal of the school, he later went on to become the third president of Bethune–Cookman College (now Bethune–Cookman University) in Daytona Beach. Prior to desegregation, it was one of the only African American schools in the city. In October 2018, Hurricane Michael caused severe damage to the old school building structure. The original building is extant, and was purchased in 2021 with the intention of forming new housing. See also
