Six Distinguished M-DCPS Graduates Inducted into the Alumni Hall of Fame Class of 2026

Six renowned and celebrated graduates of Miami-Dade’s public schools were inducted into Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ (M-DCPS) Alumni Hall of Fame on Thursday night for their post-secondary and professional achievements. 

The ceremony, held at the Hotel Beaux Arts, brought together District representatives, School Board members, alumni, and their families to celebrate the values that define M-DCPS excellence, innovation, choice, and safety-- the same values that make our schools your best choice for a world-class education. 

With this year’s honorees, the Alumni Hall of Fame now includes 74 distinguished members whose accomplishments illuminate the extraordinary talent cultivated in our public schools and now shining brightly on the national and international stage.
