Gainesville, Florida, 32641 The Professional Academies' Magnet @ Loften High School (or W. Travis Loften High School) is a public high school in Gainesville, Florida in the United States. It is part of Alachua County School District and occupies a 174 acre campus in a medium-sized community.

Overview

Unlike other high schools in the area, Loften is not a school where students are regularly zoned to attend and assigned. Loften remains a "school of choice" where students must actively seek the school out and apply as opposed to simply showing up due to location. While this ensures only students who really want to go actually attend, it also means that Loften has a very small student body. Because of this, Loften averages around 300 students in the daytime. These students are divided among 1-2 dozen teachers in a 4-period block schedule.

Career focus

Beginning in the fall of 2007, Loften became Alachua County's premier career and technical education school. In total, it currently has six career-oriented programs including:

Academy of Automotive Technology
Academy of Fire and EMS (Firefighting/Emergency Medical Services)
Academy of Gaming and Mobile App Development
Academy of Media Production Technology
Academy of Robotics and Engineering
Institute of Graphic Art and Design

Discontinued Academies

Academy of Design and Technology
Academy of Early Childhood Education
Academy of Information Technology
Academy of Horticulture
Academy of Business

Administration

Principal: Kristopher Bracewell
Assistant Principal: Lauren Chandler
