Miami Coral Park Senior High School Honors Class of 2020

MIAMI, FL — Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Miami Coral Park Senior High School are honoring the Class of 2020 to coincide with the school's virtual graduation on June 16.

The school is highlighting one student below who represents the achievements of the entire graduating class.

Romy Paz

Romy Paz immigrated from Cuba back in 2014, speaking only Spanish. She had to learn a new language, adapt to a new culture and a new way of life.

Today, Romy is at the Top 1% of class with a 5.0 GPA. She is President of the Math Honors Society and Vice President of the English Honor Society. She is also a member of the National Honors Society, the Women of Tomorrow and the Social Science Honors Society.

Partly due to her active role in the ACE Legacy / Liberty City Elementary Project, she has completed 800 community service hours. Romy will be attending the Miami Dade College Honors College in the fall.

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.
