Class Motto: "No Dream Shall Be Deferred"

Background:

            Miami Central opened its doors in 1959; the school mascot and colors were chosen in honor of NASA and its space program which was an event at the time of the schools opening. The school colors are green and white and the mascot is the Rockets! These are the school's grades by the year since the FCAT began in 1998: 1998-1999: D, 1999-2000: D, 2000-2001: D, 2001-2002: D (280 Points), 2002-2003: D (283 Points), 2003-2004: F (268 Points), 2004-2005: F (264 Points), 2005-2006: F (278 Points), 2006-2007: F (351 Points), 2007-2008: F (376 Points), 2008-2009: D (417 Points), and 2009-2010: C.

            Miami Central is home to a very diverse population of dynamic students. The approximate demographic breakdown is: 81% Black, 17% Hispanic, 1% White non-Hispanic, and 1% German. While Miami Central does face many academic challenges there is so much potential to change the tide and allow Miami Central to take off towards stardom; as already embodied in Miami Central's school motto: ad astra per aspera--to the stars through adversity.

With these funds I will be able to enhance the learning of my under-served ninth graders at Miami Central SHS. These funds will be used to help support our lab fees, basic classroom, and supplies/materials.
