A. Crawford Mosley High School is a 9-12 educational institution located in Lynn Haven, Florida. Mosley was built in 1972 and current enrollment is roughly 1,600 students. There are 120 classroom-based faculty members and Sandy Harrison is the principal. The school colors are Green, Orange and White and the mascots are "Rocky" and "Roxy", both dolphins.
Mr. Arthur Crawford Mosley was a Panama City resident since 1915. He served as an assistant principal, athletic coach and teacher at Panama Grammar School. In addition to these duties, Mr. Mosley also served as a member of the Bay County School Board for twenty years, from 1955 to 1975.
In March 1974, Mosley students moved into their new high school almost six months past the originally scheduled occupancy date because Mosley has always been behind schedule when it comes to building and renovating. These students had been attending double sessions at Bay High School since the 1973-74 school year began in the fall.
Mosley High School is the largest high school in Bay County, Florida. Mosley was the largest school north of Orlando in Florida when there were only three high schools in the Panama City-Lynn Haven, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area until the opening of Arnold High School on Panama City Beach, Florida in 2000 and the Dean Bozeman Learning Center in the Sand Hills area of North Bay County, Florida in 2002.
While enrollment before the build was 2,400, today enrollment stands at 2,100 and Sandy Harrison is the principal.
Mosley attained an "A" ranking in the 2002-03, 2004–05 and 2005-06 school years. Mosley scored a "B" in 2003-04, 2006–07 and 2009-10.
Mosley currently draws its students from the neighborhoods in Lynn Haven, Florida, northern Panama City and parts of unincorporated Bay County including the College Point area extending down Highway 390 to its junction with U.S. Highway 231 and upward to Star Ave. as well as parts of State Road 77 across the Bailey Bridge between Lynn Haven, Florida and Southport, Florida.
