History and Location
The schools doors opened to its founding group of students on August 28, 1995. The school was built to relieve overcrowding at Hialeah-Miami Lakes High School located in nearby Hialeah and American High School, in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida. Although it is located in Miami Lakes, Goleman mainly serves the western portion of the town of Miami Lakes, the nearby city of Hialeah Gardens and the extreme western portion of Hialeah, while the majority of Miami Lakes high school students attend Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School and American Senior High School, which is not in Miami Lakes, but is closer in proximity to most of the town. The school's location next to Interstate 75 makes it one of the first structures to greet travelers as they enter the county.
In 2009, Hialeah Gardens High School opened, taking attendance boundary territory from Goleman and Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School. In turn, Goleman took territory from American High School.
