Magnet programs are designed to focus on a specific program of study. Students not zoned for Godby may apply for reassignment to attend specified programs.
The Godby Career Academy is the collective effort of the school, community, local businesses, higher education, and government leaders. Career academies aim to build long-term relationships between students and teachers, developing peer support and improving achievement through highly focused small learning communities operating within the infrastructure of a traditional public school.
Amos P. Godby High School has a long tradition of offering unique programs, beginning with our Agriculture program, which began with the opening of the school. One of their more memorable achievements is building Cougar Plaza. After a short absence, the reestablished program is now focusing on Horticulture, with students creating a garden outside the 400 building.
- In 1982, we activated the first Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps in the county. FL811, an Air Force JROTC affiliate, is still going strong.
- Through the 1990s, we were the ESOL Center.
- Though short-lived, in 2008 we created a construction program that actually built three houses that were eventually sold to the public.
- Also in 2008, the Academy of Information Technology made its debut as a school within a school program.
- Between 2010-2016, the Academy of Finance provided the community with tax assistance through the VITA program.
- We also experimented for a few years with an automotive mechanics program that even had its own lift.
Continuing in this long tradition, we have programs to meet the diverse needs of society. Click on the links below to see more about our exciting offerings.

The Academy of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (AOCIM) provides students with a foundation of knowledge and technically oriented experiences in the study of the applications of engineering and its effect upon society. The AOCIM mission is to provide students with a foundation of knowledge and technically oriented experiences in the study of the applications of engineering and its effect upon society. To accomplish this goal, Computer Integrated Manufacturing has a hands-on project driven curriculum that focuses on the fundamental concepts of engineering design analysis, robotics and the production processes and systems used in the automated manufacturing industry.
This program emphasizes certified transferable skills that are nationally recognized and stresses the understanding and demonstration of the technological tools, machines, instruments, materials, processes and systems in the advanced manufacturing business and industry. This course also applies principles of robotics and automation and builds on computer solid modeling skills that they will develop in the initial course of the program, Introduction to Engineering. Students also use computer numerical controlled equipment to produce actual models of their three- dimensional designs. The content and activities will also include the study of safety, quality assurance and leadership skills.
