Welcome Stingarees!
Miami High School
Alumni Association, Inc.

Miami Senior High School is a public high school located at 2450 SW 1st Street in Miami, Florida, and operated by Miami-Dade Couny Public Schools. The school building is famous for its architecture and is a historic landmark. Miami Senior High School has a rich alumni base, with many graduates of the high school going on to varied, prominent careers. Miami High School website (http://www.miamiseniorhigh.org/)

Founded in 1903, it is the oldest high school in Miami-Dade County. The high school originally served the earliest settling families of Miami in the first half of the 20th century. By the late 1960s, with an increase in Miami's population, its student body grew at a fast pace. Beginning in 2010, Miami Senior High underwent a four-year historic restoration, renovation, and remodeling project at a cost of approximately $55 million. Project architect Thorn Grafton of Zyscovich Architects, who is the grandson of Miami Beach pioneering architect Russell Pancoast, was one of the people who undertook the renovation project.

Completed in April 2014, the project did away with the dropped ceilings that had accommodated an old air conditioning system, and restored the original high ceilings and decorative cast-stone vent screens in the halls. It also reopened the original second story arcade, removed an office expansion that had blocked part of the courtyard, and restored the original 14-foot arched windows and steel-trussed cathedral ceiling in the old library (now a media center).  Restoration video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wn7xpc3p0Q)

MHS Alumni Association Members showed their generosity in answering the Stingaree Alumni call to help!! Your contributions  were hard at work in making the 2019 MHS Alumni Association Scholarship awards a rousing success!

On May 4, 2019 amid big smiles, hugs and high fives a record $26,500 donated by our alumni resulted in 43 scholarships awarded to deserving seniors from the Class of 2019 planning on attending  an accredited  college, university or accredited technical school. One student was awarded $1,500, eight students received $1000 and thirty four students received $500 each towards the cost of their continued education, making this the first time our scholarship program has gone past the $26,000 mark. 

First and foremost, the scholarship recipients wanted to make sure that we let the alumni know how thankful they are to have received these scholarships, and that they too know what a special place MHS is. In their words, "you guys are amazing thank you so much for all you do for us".  "Thank you for the continued efforts of the Alumni Association in helping Stingarees graduate with a plan!" We know they will make us proud. 

Deep gratitude to the  2019 Scholarship Committee:
