Manatee High School's Davis Building

Manatee High School is the oldest public high school in Bradenton, Florida, operated by the Manatee County School District.[4]

History[]

Over its long history, Manatee's buildings have changed drastically. The most recent redesign was the demolition and reconstruction of the Davis Building. The original building was built in 1926 and served as Manatee High School's iconic facade until 2010, when the Manatee County School Board deemed a new building necessary. It was crucial for the new building to retain the historic six white columns and brick that served the community for 84 years. The building features a state-of-the-art auditorium, fully equipped music suite, 25 classrooms, and a large atrium in the main foyer. In 1997 a major redesign that included new classrooms, a science-technology building, gym, and administration building was constructed.[5]

The Macohi[]

The name for the school newspaper is derived from the school's former name, Manatee County High School, using the first two letters from each word to create "Macohi". Currently in its 94th volume, the Macohi began as "The Oracle", while the yearbook was named the Macohi. In 1990, the paper was awarded a Silver Crown Newspaper (for high schools) by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association.[6][7]
