Soundside High School

Gulf Breeze, Florida
Building for the future: Soundside High School, Santa Rosa County’s first new high school in 25 years, combines modern design, cutting-edge facilities, and a coastal collegiate feel to meet the needs of a growing student population.

Slated for completion in Spring of 2026, the $110 million high school facility will accommodate 1,800 students in grade nine through twelve with a modern and thoughtful design. The interior and exterior materials and color palettes create a coastal, collegiate character for the campus.

This three-story high school will feature 74 classrooms, CTE (Career and Technical Education) labs, a gymnasium building, a sports fieldhouse, and various athletic fields including a synthetic turf multi-sport field. The design team maximized the 35-acre site by designing a 3-story high school with a central interior courtyard that provides a secure outdoor gathering area for the students. DAG provided a cohesive campus design down to the school mascot and school colors, which are incorporated into the sports facilities. The design prioritizes safety with secure entry points, including badge-access doors and restricted public access areas once the school is operational.
