- History & Memorable Moments
Miami Beach High opened in 1924 and has had a rich history. The school moved to its current location about 10 blocks north of the famous South Beach district in 1960. Its original mascot was the Typhoons, but this mascot was changed after the 1960 move. In the 60's, Miami Beach High opened its arms to diversity by undergoing desegregation efforts. In 1967, the new principal, Solomon Lichter, brought technological advances to the school such as new electric typewriters for the business department. Beach High is one of the oldest high schools in Miami-Dade County, trailing only Miami Senior High (1903). The original building at 14th and Drexel is now part of the Fienberg-Fisher Elementary School compound. Currently, the school is undergoing massive renovations and adding new buildings which are replacing the now demolished ones.[1]
For the first 20 years of the school, it was named after Carl Fisher's mother, Ida M. Fisher. Carl Fisher provided the funds for the purchase of the land and the first principal was Mr. C. C. Carson. The school hasn't had a uniform system in its history, and currently there is no uniform policy for the students.[1]
