- History & Memorable Moments
Spanish River opened in 1983 and graduated its first senior class in 1985. Built to relieve crowding at Boca Raton Community High School and in anticipation of the tremendous growth of suburban Boca Raton, the campus was initially isolated and surrounded by farms. Quickly, the campus was filled beyond capacity as the surrounding area rapidly developed. Additional classroom space was constructed in 1985 and again in 1988. Twenty-two years later, the campus expanded again as the district completed construction on the Countess de Hoernle Auditorium. The school opened under the direction of Dr. William Pinder, who was appointed in 1982 to oversee the staffing and opening of Spanish River. Following Dr. Pinder's transfer to other duties two years later, Dr. Arthur Johnson was transferred in from nearby Boca Raton Community High School. "Dr. J.", as he was affectionately known by both students and faculty, became known for his management philosophy of "work hard, play hard." Under his administration, Spanish River became well known for a strong academic program which was balanced with a lively social calendar and a prominent athletic program. Johnson's stern disciplinary hand, perhaps best exemplified by his visibility between classes and use of a bullhorn to discourage tardiness, emphasized the importance of focusing on studies. Johnson also became well-known for his involvement in student activities, especially actively taking part in football season pep rallies. [1]
