News Detail

Upcoming Campus Construction

We would like to inform you that construction will soon begin on the main entrance of our school and the A Building.

These improvements are part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our facilities and will include the addition of a new structure that will house the Center for College and Career Guidance and the Desmond Family Success Center.

Construction Details:
  • Main Entrance: The main entrance will be closed during the construction period.
  • A Building: Construction will take place on the first floor of the west side of the A Building. To ensure the safety of our school community, fencing has been placed around the entire construction site.
Traffic and Parking Adjustments:
  • Traffic Flow: Campus entry and exit will continue via both 87th Avenue and 32nd Street. Student drop-off has been moved closer to the cafeteria. Marist Circle remains open and should be utilized by everyone dropping off and picking up students, particularly for parents traveling south from Coral Way. (See attached map for details.)
  • Student Parking: We have limited on-campus parking available for senior and junior students, and all available parking spots have been sold out.
Visitor Instructions:
  • Campus Access: All visitors and parents should enter campus through the gate nearest the Mas Building entrance and report to the Main Office for sign-in.
  • Security and Supervision: Our Security Supervisor, Alex Garabedian, will assist with campus parking. Additionally, a Miami-Dade Police officer will be on duty every day from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Faculty and staff members will also be stationed in key locations, including 32nd Street, 87th Avenue, the front parking lot, Marist Circle, and the back parking lot, to ensure a safe environment.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and cooperation during this period of improvement. Your support is crucial as we work to enhance our school facilities for the benefit of our students.
