In 1953, the Stanton Senior School name was transferred to a new facility on 13th Street and was re-named New Stanton Senior High School. Charles D. Brooks was the first principal of the "new" school.
Today, Stanton is one of a select few schools in Florida to offer the International Baccalaureate Program, a rigorous college level program that provides course credit or advanced placement for up to one full year in colleges and universities worldwide. The course offerings include only honors-level, Advanced Placement (AP), dual enrollment and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes.
