Pensacola High School is the first and only school in Escambia County to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) full Diploma Program. The FL Pre-IB program was first implemented in 1986, with the first IB class graduating in 1990. Beginning in the ninth and tenth grades, students enroll in Florida Pre-IB courses (as well as conventional high school electives) that prepare them for the rigors of the IB diploma program. Students take a mix of IB and AP classes to provide the most rigorous educational opportunities to prepare them for University.
