Principal Welcome

Welcome to J.R. Arnold High School’s web page. We are proud to serve the Panama City Beach community as its high school. Founded just over twenty years ago, Arnold High School has developed into one of the area’s premier high schools. We strive to provide students a triple-A experience. Doing this enables our students to have access to the finest Academic, Artistic, and Athletic programs possible.

Our academic program is uniquely crafted to provide advanced academic studies via our Collegiate Studies program in addition to promoting Career-Technical Education certifications so students can seamlessly transition from school to industries.

Arnold’s fine and performing arts programs enable our students to develop their talents as performers, musicians and artists. Students in our drama program are responsible for the management and operation of the county’s largest auditorium during school or community presented productions. As you will see, our students’ artistic talents are entertaining and enriching the lives of others through their work.

Athletically, Arnold is proud to be home of the multiple FHSAA State Championship as well as many other extraordinary programs. This past year, Arnold Athletics claimed multiple County and District championships.

I encourage you to scroll through our webpages to learn more about Arnold High School. Please be certain to stop by our school at 550 Alf Coleman Road in Panama City Beach, Florida, to experience all there is as an Arnold Marlin!

Go Marlins!

Britt Smith, Principal
