Miami Palmetto Senior High School

What Miami Palmetto Senior High School does

Miami Palmetto Senior High School is a public magnet high school operating under the Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) district in the Pinecrest area of Miami-Dade County, Florida, at 7431 S.W. 120th St. The institution serves high school students in grades 9-12, delivering college preparatory academics alongside magnet programs (including the Conservatory of the Arts at mpshsvpa.weebly.com), Career and Technical Academies, and Advanced Placement courses. Athletics span fall, winter, and spring seasons with approximately 20 sports; co-curricular programming includes a Television Production program producing Panther TVP morning announcements on YouTube, The Panther student newspaper, The Palm Echo yearbook, Student Council, and approximately 100+ activities and clubs.

The school's technology infrastructure is built around the Digital Convergence Initiative, which distributes district-issued mobile devices — MacBook Air, HP, and Lenovo laptops — to students for at-home learning under a checkout-and-insurance model. Distance learning and virtual conferencing are supported through Microsoft Teams and Zoom integrations; the MDCPS Student Portal handles attendance, grade monitoring, and parent communication. Operational integrations include GoFan (digital athletic ticketing), JotForm (transcript requests and device requests), Google Forms (TVP announcement submissions), and Florida Virtual School (online coursework). All technology is procured and managed at the district level rather than built or owned by the school itself.

As a public educational institution, the school is funded through MDCPS via state, local, and federal education revenue, with no tuition for standard enrollment. Ancillary transactional revenue is generated through mandatory athletic insurance ($14 for summer workouts; $18 for non-football sports and spring football; $63 for fall football) sold via OSP, and a one-time district-issued device technology fee ($20 standard, $10 reduced-lunch, $5 free-lunch). The go-to-market model is district-mediated: students within the attendance boundary are automatically eligible, while magnet-program applicants compete via Your Choice Miami. Marketing and recruitment channels include the palmettopanthers.org website, Instagram (@palmettoshs), Facebook (MPSHPTSA), Twitter (@palmettoSHS), YouTube-hosted TVP programming, and the annual Panther Preview orientation for prospective students.
