History
editSouth Dade was established in 1953, consolidating the original Homestead High School with the agricultural program and grades 9-12 of the Redland Farm Life School.[3] Following the devastation of Hurricane Andrew in August 1992, the school building was repaired and a new science wing opened in 1995. In 2008, a state of the art facility with over 420,000 square feet opened.[4]
