Originally built in 1927, the building is now used by the Turkey Creek Middle School.

The school is now located at 5005 Turkey Creek Road South, just north of Highway 60.

The history of Turkey Creek and Plant City is inextricably linked to strawberry farming.

While this practice ended in 1956 after a series of heated rhetorical attacks by Jock Murray of the Tampa Tribune,[4] Turkey Creek Middle School still closes for the Plant City Strawberry Festival in late winter.

The school has a large FFA program and raises almost $20,000 per year from sales of student-grown agricultural products.
