@miixchii<\/a>Miami Lakes Educational Center enjoyed an exceptional school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was named the nation\u2019s best Magnet School, earned a STEM designation, its students won various individual accolades, and many of its extra-curricular clubs won national awards. Jaguars simply went above and beyond expectations this past academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So when Florida school grades were released and MLEC was named an \u201cA\u201d school for the 12th year, the news did not come as a surprise. For jaguars, it seems, there\u2019s always a new milestone to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is the twelfth year that MLEC is an A school. Clearly, it\u2019s a special place,\u201d said English Department Chair, Ms. Neyda Borges. \u201cEach year, our kids shine. They learn, they achieve, and they prepare to take on the college and career world. Test scores and school grades just show that MLEC truly is the best place to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every year at MLEC, students pull all-nighters doing their academy work, studying for their upcoming AP exams or AICE papers, working with diligence and perseverance as they excel through the academic year. Jaguars simply put all their sweat and tears into becoming the best students they can be, and under the strong leadership of our Top Jaguar, Ms. Lourdez Diaz, as well as of the faculty who dedicate all their work into exceeding expectations, MLEC was able to once again achieve this academic prestige. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYear after year I continue to be impressed by our teachers and students and their collective drive to succeed,\u201d said Principal Lourdes Diaz. \u201cExcellence is never an accident; it is the result of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I am so very proud of each and every one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MLEC is not only celebrating its own achievement as an \u201cA\u201d school though, the school is also celebrating its district, Miami-Dade County Public Schools. For the second time, MDCPS was rated an \u201cA\u201d school district, and there were no \u201cF\u201d schools within the county for the third consecutive year \u2014 an enormous and impressive milestone for the county. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For us, MLEC\u2019s jaguars, the title of being an \u201cA\u201d school for the 12th year is just proof of something we already know: MLEC is truly the nation\u2019s best. As the 2019-2020 school year is about to commence, one can only wonder what milestones MLEC will surpass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m so excited and proud to see the efforts made by our faculty and staff have paid off once again,\u201d said Cambridge Academy Leader Ms. Evans DeSimone. \u201cIt\u2019s not an easy task,\u201d she continued. \u201cWe did it!\u201d
