• WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL

    Welcome to Tate High School!

    It is truly my privilege to serve as the principal of the largest and most respected high school in Escambia County. Founded in 1878, Tate High School has grown into a thriving campus spanning over 80 acres with more than 20 buildings. We are proud of our rich traditions, our unwavering commitment to excellence, and the strong sense of family that defines Aggie Nation.

    At Tate, we believe in preparing students for success in every area of life. Our rigorous curriculum includes seven outstanding career academies: Agriscience, Health Science, Veterinary Science, Education Pathways, Multimedia, Automotive Service, and Game Simulation and Animation. We also offer an impressive variety of Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment courses to ensure our graduates are ready for college, careers, and the challenges of tomorrow. Year after year, our students achieve ACT and End-of-Course scores that not only lead the district but also exceed state averages, demonstrating the strength of our academic programs.

    Excellence at Tate extends far beyond the classroom. Our students excel in everything they pursue. Tate High School is home to champions at every level, including our State Champion Mock Trial Team, seven-time Baseball State Champions, Football and Softball State Champions, and numerous HOSA, FBLA, and Beta Club State Champions. Our FFA program continues its legacy of success, with students who have served as State Officers, representing our school and community with pride across Florida. Our nationally recognized Showband of the South brings spirit and tradition to every performance, showcasing the talent and dedication of our students.

    At Tate, students do not just attend school; they find their purpose, build lifelong friendships, and create memories and accomplishments that shape their futures. Whether in academics, athletics, leadership, or the arts, every student has opportunities to thrive and to leave a lasting legacy of excellence that makes our entire Aggie community proud.
