The school is located on the Miami-Dade side of the Miami-Dade-Broward County line and it is the northernmost high school in the district.

Due to the recession of 2008 and ongoing financial issues, the STAR program has had severe cuts in its funding.

“But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.”
