West Gadsden High School is the home
of the Mighty Panthers. This is a community-based public school,
located in Gadsden County's smallest municipality (1 square mile),
Greensboro, which is about 30 miles west of Tallahassee,
Florida.
West Gadsden High School was formed
during the summer of 2004 when Chattahoochee High School was closed
and the students were merged with students who attended Greensboro
High School. Our students are those who formerly attended
Chattahoochee Elementary, Greensboro Elementary, and James A.
Shanks Middle School. The school name [West Gadsden High School],
colors [black, white, gray and maroon], mascot [Panthers], and many
other aspects were planned by a council of students representing
Chattahoochee and Greensboro High School. The 2007-2008 school term
marked the beginning of an era at our new site which is located at
200 Providence Road, on the corner directly across the street from
the former Greensboro High School, currently Greensboro Elementary
School.
