About Coral Reef
Coral Reef Senior High School,
Miami's Mega-Magnet, opened its doors in 1997 as
a $32.3 million facility. Coral Reef is located in the Southwest
of Miami-Dade County adjacent
to the Richmond Heights community on 59 beautifully landscaped
acres. Two open courtyards enhance the ambiance of the school
environment. The campus includes a seven-acre community park,
four outdoor basketball courts, six tennis courts, a quarter-mile
track, football and soccer practice fields, and softball and baseball
fields. In additional, there is an agriscience land-laboratory
containing a greenhouse, garden, and aquatic and small animal
areas. Large gatherings of students, parents and community members
can be comfortably accommodated in the state-of-the-art school
auditorium, which seats 804, and the gymnasium, which can accommodate
over 2,000 people. The building itself measures 306,000 square
feet excluding the courtyard, which measures over one acre. The
initial budget was projected at $64.5 million, but when completed
on June 19, 1997 the project required less money. Coral Reef Senior High School
is a unique four-year mega-magnet high school comprised of six
academics: International Studies/International Baccalaureate;
Business/Finance; Agriscience/Engineering Technology; Leisure
Medicine/Health Sciences; Visual/Performing Arts; and Legal/Public
Affairs. In additional to the academic, a comprehensive program
of activities and athletics is available to all students. Coral
Reef maintains close ties with numerous community professionals,
business, and agencies. Since the students have all applied to
attend (and subsequently been selected by lottery) and parents/community
totally support school programs, and environment exists which
promotes: high levels of academic commitment to the school and
outside community, and preparation for future success in the students,
approximately 24 percent of whom are white, non-hispanic students,
24 percent are African-American students, 45 percent are Hispanic
students, and eight percent are autistic, emotionally handicapped,
as well as other health impaired. Visit Coral Reef Senior High School at http://coralreef.dadeschools.net for more information.
