[edit] History
Paul J. Hagerty High School opened in 2005. Every year until the 2008-2009 school year, a new grade will be added. Currently, the student body is composed of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors.
Before the school became a high school, it was Lawton Chiles Middle School for several years while construction on several buildings continued. Principal Sam Momary oversaw all construction. During the 05-06 year, Hagerty was born and new lines were drawn for the county. Many middle school students were switched to Jackson Heights Middle School or the newly constructed Lawton Chiles Middle School.[citation needed]

The Band is under the direction of Mike Rice.
Hagerty has freshman, junior varsity, and varsity football teams consisting of only juniors, sophomores, and freshman. The varsity team went 1-10 this year due to the fact that they played in division 6-A with juniors as the highest upperclassmen. Their only win was caused by Seminole high school, and it was by disqualification, because they had a 5th year senior. The varsity football team is coached by Nate Gierke, who is a member of the famous high school football Gierke family. This year Hagerty's varsity team won its spring jamboree against Lake Brantley High School, by a margin of 2 points. The final score was 16-14.
