Hello Pine Ridge High School Families!

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year!

At Pine Ridge High School, Panther Pride is on full display every day. We foster a safe and orderly campus where students are supported and empowered to succeed. With a graduation rate over 98%, our students are prepared for every path ahead—college, career, or military service.

We offer rigorous academic programs including Advanced Placement and Cambridge AICE, along with Career and Technical Education academies in HVAC, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Finance, and Computer Cyber Security. For those who choose to serve, our ROTC program provides leadership and preparation for military careers.

Whether it’s on the field with our full lineup of high school sports or on stage in our award-winning performing and fine arts programs, every student has the opportunity to shine. At Pine Ridge, we’re proud, we’re focused, and we’re ready for the future—we are Panthers.

Our staff and students are the best in Volusia County! 

They make me very proud.
