History

South Miami Senior opened its doors to students on November 10, 1971. It was built to relieve the overcrowding at Southwest Miami High, Coral Park Senior High and Coral Gables High School. The student body selected the Cobra as its mascot. The school's first principal, Warren Burchell, was originally from Ohio and chose the school colors, orange and brown, for the team colors of the NFL Cleveland Browns.

Since opening, South Miami has had five principals: Dr. Warren G. Burchell, Judy Weiner, Thomas L. Shaw, Eugene Butler, Craig Speziale, Gilberto Bonce, and Dr. Cadian Collman-Perez. Dr. Burchell's term was the longest, at 22 years.

Demographics

The school is 84% Hispanic, 8% Black, 7% White non-Hispanic, and 1% Asian.[4]

gollark: Computers are quite low-power nowadays. Although possibly less so than LED bulbs.
gollark: If anyone complains that it's "wrong" somehow just turn the power directed at them up a bit.
gollark: Lighting idea: simulate bright lighting on a much lower power budget using dim and somewhat unfocused lasers, computer vision-y cameras and digital light processing to aim """"safe"""" beams directly into people's eyes.
