- William M. Raines High School is a high school located off Moncrief Road on Jacksonville, Florida's northside. It is well known for its distinguished history and outstanding accomplishments in academics, athletics, activities, and service. Located at the corner Raines Avenue in northwest Jacksonville, Raines serves approximately 1,000 students. The school is 99 percent African-American. The campus was recently renovated to include a new administrative and science wing. William M. Raines High School was the first historically black high school in Jacksonville; Stanton College Preparatory School was the first school for black children in Florida.. The historic institution was named for William M. Raines, a prominent and very respected educator in Jacksonville. He was principal for Matthew Gilbert Senior-Junior High School for a period of about 12 years. His educational background included studying at Florida Memorial College, Edward Waters College, Florida A & M University, Hampton Institute and Columbia University. 1965 proved to be a monumental year, for it was at that time that Raines first opened its doors. A lot of students from Northwestern High School became Raines' Vikings. The colors, cardinal red and silver gray with a touch of Navy Blue, were adopted as the school's very own. The faculty and staff also agreed on the motto of "Knowledge is Power. " The first principal was Dr. Andrew Robinson. The science wing was named in honor of him. He was principal until 1970. Mr. Ezekiel Bryant, principal from 1970-72, was followed by Mr. Kernaa McFarlin, principal from 1972-1978, Mr. Ike James, principal from 1978-79, Mr. Jimmie A. Johnson, principal from 1979-95, Dr. Milton Threadcraft, principal from 1995-97, Dr. Roy Mitchell, principal from 1997-2002, Mrs. Carol Daniels from 2002-2006, and Nongongoma Majova-Seane from 2006-09. George Maxey, who previously led Ribault Middle School, became principal of Raines in mid-2009. Maxey is currently focused on improving school academics, discipline, and student performance on standardized test scores to keep the school from receiving another failing grade in 2010. Maxey's plans to establish "A New Raines with an Old Flavor" is an effort to return the school to its better days when the school and its students were the jewel of northwest Jacksonville. Maxey hopes to restore the school to its former prominence by enlisting the support of alumni, former teachers, and the community.
