Though Poinciana High School had very quality band and choral programs in the beginning of the 2000 decade, and produced many fine musicians during this time, including high seated Florida All-State musicians, the music programs are still in a state of rebuilding.

Thanks to the former Principal, Belynda Pinkston, there was an effort to revive the fine arts programs to their previous levels.

In the 2003–04 school year, after the death of two students in a drag-racing related incident, as well as the death of a teacher from cancer, students were able to help start a surprise visit by the rapper Ludacris during a pep-rally style event, hosted by MTV.

This included $135,000 in awards, most popular of which was the $25,000 worth of enhancements to the prom that year.

Aside from MTV, Poinciana more recently received a surprise visit from architect, television host, and producer Danny Forster of Discovery Channel January 2014.
