Class of '58
Levis, tee-shirts, penny loafers, hoop skirts, sweaters and bobby socks were the dress code during our wonderful years at Leon. We cannot move time backwards nor should we. However, for a few days we can bring back those wonderful memories and renew old friendships. Get ready for the big one! ..... our 50th class reunion is only a few months away. Break out those old photos, scrap books, articles and news clippings. This is your web site and it has been designed with you in mind. We can help get you started by sharing information. Go ahead, make contact with someone you haven't seen since our 40th reunion or longer.

Leon is Florida's oldest continually accredited high school. It has always been among the state's leaders in National Merit Scholars, SAT scores and has established a tradition of excellence including all areas of academics, performing arts as well as sports--second to none. Leon has trained many of Florida's prominent citizens, including former governors, congressmen, senators, lawyers, doctors and even an Academy Award winner.

Leon High School, the oldest and best. It was founded in 1871, only six years after the conclusion of the Civil War and only twenty-six years after Florida became a state. During its one hundred thirty-three year history, Leon High School has been housed in three different facilities and finally came to rest in its present location with the construction of a three story building in 1936. That building still stands and is an integral part of Leon High today. It was declared a national landmark in 1994.

--- THE INCREDIBLE MARCHING REDCOATS ---
The Marching Redcoats continue "a tradition of excellence". At the helm is Josh Bula, the present band director. They have achieved yet another year of "superior" ratings at state music contest. This achievement is unprecedented within the state of Florida. The Marching Redcoats record has not been duplicated and continues unbroken for the past fifty-eight years.
This legacy began under the direction of Mr. Oliver Hobbs. A Marching Redcoats band reunion was held in March 2007, commerating the memory of Mr. Hobbs. Anyone who was in the band in the past was invited to attend and participate. Those who continue to play their instrument were privileged to play at a Friday evening memorial concert hosted by the Leon Symphonic and Concert bands. It was a wonderful evening topped off by the Tallahassee, Swing Band, directed by Elliot Toole. They played tunes from the Oliver Hobbs dance band era, i.e. Tuxedo Junction, Stardust, Caravan, In the Mood and others. Kudos! to the Redcoats.
