History

The first Spring Lake Park Junior/Senior High School opened for the 1955–56 school year.[4]

"In 1976, Spring Lake Park became the first high school in the nation to provide Emergency Medical Services training.  As a result of a Title III grant, the Opportunities in Emergency Health Care Program started training high school students to become Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT’s)."[5]

The campus was renovated throughout the 2008–09 school year. Kenneth Hall Elementary School, which was located on the high school campus, was torn down and the land converted into a parking lot.[4]
