Miami Central Senior High School is a secondary school located at 1781 NW 95th Street in West Little River, Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States.[4] Its current principal is Raymond Sands.
Miami Central opened in 1959. Its school mascot and colors were chosen in honor of NASA and the inception of its space program, which was an event at the time of the school's opening.
In the early 1990s, the school acquired a computer science magnet program, placed as part of the district's initiative to devote school space to certain magnet programs so as to attract minority students to less diverse schools.
The school serves most of the northern fringes of the city of Miami,[citation needed] as well as parts of North Miami, Opa-locka, the village of Miami Shores, and the village of El Portal.[5]
