Crotalaria spectabilis
Large growing plant in the Pea Family, Fabaceae. This is an exotic plant in FL.
School garden...a volunteer
The dried seed pods rattle, hence the common name which is similar to the Latin name for the Rattlesnake, Crotalis.

Yes, you've likely seen the plant from the deck at the front entrance.
Good picture Claire, was that taken at the school?
