Letter From the Principal
Welcome to Miami Lakes Educational Center's Web Site. It is my sincere hope that our web site will assist you in making decisions about your educational options and future endeavors.
The instructional programs in our high school are developed around a student's choice of a career academy and the integration of traditional academic offerings with vocational technical courses. This curriculum integration will provide our high school students the opportunity to receive both a high school diploma and a vocational certificate at the time of graduation. Five academies with twenty-six different strands are offered at this time. Enrollment criteria for our high school programs include good attendance, conduct, effort and behavior, as well as strong interest in a career from one of the academies.
The post-secondary division of Miami Lakes Educational Center has identified two primary goals of singular importance. The first being that of preparing students for entry level positions and/or to provide training for those students currently employed who desire to upgrade their skills in their chosen occupation. The second is to ensure that graduates are placed in jobs commensurate to their area of training. The Center is extremely proud of its programs and its ability to place students in the job market as productive members of society.
Our Web Site highlights the pertinent information necessary for potential students to understand the course offerings, entrance criteria and other information that may be of interest to current and prospective students.
Miami Lakes Educational Center is staffed with a cadre of highly skilled professionals who bring years of experience to the classrooms and labs, and are certified by the Florida Department of Education. The Center has a Student Services Department which provides necessary support services for all students as well as other related program activities.
Our school is well known in the community and plays a major role in the day-to-day activities within the Miami Lakes area. Representatives of the school actively participate in the local Chamber of Commerce activities, Business Association functions and other community functions. I am very proud to say that the Center receives outstanding support from its community. This indeed makes it a pleasure to serve the community.
I sincerely hope that you will select Miami Lakes Educational Center for your training needs and that the selection you make will lead to the fulfillment of your personal goals and career expectations.
Sincerely,
James V. Parker, Principal
