We are the recreation of the community school that existed in McIntosh from the 1870’s to 1948. It was known as a “community school of social action.” We recruit parents as partners for learning, civic and business partners to foster pride in the community, and institutions of higher learning. We received an accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and School Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI). We have an open door policy. Our students families are required to volunteer 20 hours each year, whether in the classroom or our many other opportunities.

Uniform Policy: All learners are required to wear uniforms. Research shows that students perform better academically and socially without the distraction of various clothing styles, including wildly decorated sneakers and socks. The uniform consists of navy & beige uniform slacks or shorts for boys, and navy & beige slacks, shorts, skorts, or jumpers for girls, with similarly colored socks, tights, and shoes. Shorts and skirts should not be shorter than mid-thigh. Learners wear collared cotton knit shirts in blue, green, red, yellow, or white. A good tennis shoe is best for learners, as they participate in physical activities daily. No sandals or open shoes are allowed. No denim or blue jean fabric is allowed. Learners should arrive at school appropriately dressed and well groomed. No loud-colored clothing including socks or tights, make up and jewelry are allowed. The intent or purpose of the uniform rule is to prevent classroom distractions from learning.

Bald Eagle Mascot – Bald Eagle

School Colors – Kelly Green and Royal Blue

Governance/School Board Info:

Because McIntosh Area School is a charter school, we have our own school board to govern us. They meet the first Tuesday of every month at 7pm in the McIntosh Civic Center. These meetings are open to the public and are subject to the Florida Sunshine State Law. Items to be placed on the agenda should be submitted to the president of the board or the school office at least seven days prior to the meeting.
