Central Academy

Central Academy, located in Palatka, Florida, is a historic site established in 1892 and recognized as the first accredited African-American high school in Florida in 1924. The original building was destroyed by fire in 1936, and the current structure was built in 1937. It has served various purposes over the years, including as a transportation office for the school district. Now listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places since 1998, efforts are underway to restore this significant landmark, making it an interesting site for tourists and researchers interested in African-American history and education.
