MIAMI CORAL PARK SENIOR HIGH NAMED A
GRAMMY® FOUNDATION SIGNATURE SCHOOL

Miami Coral Park Senior High School was one of 14 schools nationwide to be selected as a GRAMMY® Signature School for 2009.  Coral Park High was a recipient in the Grammy Signature Schools Enterprise Award category, which recognized the efforts made by six schools that are economically underserved.  Coral Park won a $5,000 grant to benefit its music program.

The GRAMMY Signature Schools program was created in 1998 and recognizes top U.S. public high schools that are making an outstanding commitment to music education during an academic school year. The selection process for GRAMMY Signature Schools begins each year in September when the GRAMMY Foundation reviews the applications of more than 20,000 public high schools.  A rigorous judging takes place with a final review conducted by an independent screening committee to determine schools that merit Signature School status.

The other school winners in the Enterprise Award category are from Colorado Springs, Colo.; Pacific, Mo., Rochester City, N.Y.; Detroit and Phoenix.
