About Us


Tenoroc High School is a state-of-the-art facility, which was designed as a prototype for new high schools, incorporating the most recent technology for both administrative and instructional purposes with an emphasis on math, science, and technology. This well-designed campus is set on a beautifully landscaped 140 acre site in central Polk County.

Emphasis is also placed on school-to-work opportunities, including well-equipped classrooms that prepare students in technological fields such as computer drafting; electronics; graphics; web design; and television production; as well as specialized practical application programs including culinary arts; child care; business technology education; JROTC; and Agri-science education. Fine Arts students thrive in programs related to the visual and performing arts.

The Tenoroc Power Academy gives students opportunities to follow a comprehensive course sequence throughout their high school career that will offer them employment in the power field. This Academy uses a small learning community approach to raise student motivation, aspirations, and commitment.
