Coral Reef Senior High School Honors Class of 2020

RICHMOND HEIGHTS, FL — Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Coral Reef Senior High School are honoring the Class of 2020 to coincide with the school's virtual graduation on June 12.

The school is highlighting two students below who represent the achievements of the entire graduating class.

Nathalie Acosta

Nathalie Acosta is an Orgullo De Nuestra Juventud Scholar. The passing of her father has helped her shift her perception in such a grand manner that she is now more confident in being openly vulnerable with others as a result. Nathalie is a member of the National Honor Society and Science National Honor Society. She is the Communications Director for NEHS, Creative Writing Editor for the Baitline Newspaper, Co-President for the Ecology Club, and a member of Elysium. She has been working on a personal blog called "Teens for Conservation," which combines her two greatest passions of writing and preservation.

Anyeli Pro

Anyeli Pro is a committed and determined student. As part of Coral Reef Senior's Business & Finance Academy, Anyeli is certified in various Microsoft programs, and has competed, placed and won various categories for Reef’s chapter of Future Business Leaders of America at district competitions. Anyeli also sits on many committees and boards.

To support and remain connected to her native Peru, Anyeli created The Ashima Project which translates to “The Sky’s the Limit”. The Ashima Project’s goal is to provide young children in Peru with the resources to both prosper and thrive in education and life. As a Junior, Anyeli interned for Chief Financial Officer Denise Suarez of the 11th Judicial Court of Florida. She is the Silver Knight nominee for the Business category from Coral Reef.

In an effort to ensure that the Class of 2020 graduates at Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) receive the pomp and circumstance they deserve, the District is holding virtual graduation ceremonies for each high school. The live streaming of each virtual graduation, as well as a schedule of ceremonies and a video archive can be accessed by visiting Classof2020.dadeschools.net. The ceremonies are also televised on WLRN Channel 17.

The virtual commencement ceremonies will be followed by an in-person Class of 2020 celebration at each high school either in the summer or winter, once it is safe to do so under public health guidelines.

In addition to the virtual ceremonies, the District has launched a marketing campaign to highlight outstanding seniors, and invite the community to celebrate graduates on social media using the following hashtags: #MDCPSGrad, #Classof2020, #MeetMDCPSGrads and #SeniorSpotlight.
