Jule F. Sumner High School is a public high school in Riverview, Florida. It opened in 2020 and was built to relieve overcrowding at East Bay High School in Gibsonton and Earl J. Lennard High School in Ruskin, though it also took some students from Joe E. Newsome High School in Lithia and from Durant High School in Plant City. The school is named after Jule F. Sumner, who was an early settler of the Southshore area.
