On September 28, 2022 the school was largely destroyed by Hurricane Ian, though the district had expressed interest in trying to save at least part of the structure.^[2] In 2023, more recently constructed buildings that were not considered historic and were heavily damaged by Hurricane Ian were demolished and the original historic structure was renovated.^[3] It was rebuilt and reopened for the 2023 school year.^[4]

In 2024, Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton caused significant damage to the structure and exposed its support pillars. After failing an architectural review, it was closed once more.^[5]

Its future is still being considered.
