As a result of the recent reconfiguration of the entrance to Sarasota High School (SHS) and the relocation of administrative office to Building 4 facing Bahia Vista Street, the current street address of 1000 S. School Avenue is no longer representative of the school's location and main entrance.  The SHS address was changed from Tamiami Trail to School Avenue in 1995.

Staff has researched this at length and is proposing a new address for SHS: 2155 Bahia Vista Street.  This address is sequential with surrounding addresses on the north side of Bahia Vista to the east and west of the SHS entrance.  This new address will improve ease of locating the school's main entrance by emergency vehicles, parents and other visitors, and will clearly communicate to the public the location of the new entrance to the school.

Zoning officials of the City of Sarasota and Sarasota County Government have agreed that this address change is advisable. Principal David Jones presented the plan to the School Advisory Council (representative parents, students and staff) whose members support the new address.
