M-DCPS HELD GROUNDBREAKING FOR MAST@HOMESTEAD

Miami-Dade County Public Schools held the groundbreaking ceremony for MAST@Homestead on May 24.  This new educational facility, located on the site of the former James Archer Smith Hospital in Homestead, will provide educational strands for students who want to pursue pharmaceutical, physical therapy and biomedical fields. Each strand will have its own lab, which will be augmented by additional science labs and classrooms.  MAST@Homestead will be the second Medical Magnet High School in the state and one of only a handful in the nation.
