OK, this one is probably a gimme:  What Duval County high school is this?  The State Archives of Florida doesn't identify the institution.  The year is 1959, when Eisenhower was president. 

By the way, can you also name the students in the photo?  If so, then you're a real eagle eye!

MYSTERY SOLVED!  The nameless school appears to be Terry Parker High, the Arlington institution which is the alma mater of John Delaney, the president of the University of North Florida and the former mayor of Jacksonville.   One website visitor recently emailed, "Could it be Terry Parker High School?  I could not find when it was built, but it looks kinda like the bus drop-off did when I went there."  Also as another website visitor, Ruth Carter-Bourdon, writes, "I didn't go there, I was in California.  But we visited relatives in 1961 and went past it many times.  I called my aunt Pat, and she looked at the website and said that it was indeed her school." 

A SPECIAL THANKS GOES TO THESE TWO JAX HISTORY ENTHUSIASTS WHOSE SLEUTHING HELPED SOLVE THE MYSTERY!
