LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL<br />
RO ... ~ D. BORGEN<br />
This has been the second year <strong>of</strong> operation <strong>of</strong> the high school division <strong>of</strong> <strong>Miami</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong><br />
<strong>Educational</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, a dual-delivery educational institution which encompasses both secondary and postsecondary<br />
students attending classes simultaneously. We are unique in our district since acceptance into<br />
our program allows you to receive a regular or college-ready high school diploma and earn a certificate oL<br />
completion in any <strong>of</strong> the teclmical progr.nns <strong>of</strong>fered. We have also entered into unique partnerships with<br />
business and industry that allow for specialized training in seven!! technical areas, and our school has<br />
been designated as an AutoCAD training center, a Toyota T-Ten and collision training center, a CISCO<br />
and an AYES (Automotive Youth <strong>Educational</strong> System) program center.<br />
This year the student body has increased to double the number from 300 to 7 50 students, and we<br />
ex-pect U1e enrollment to continue to increase in the future. <strong>Our</strong> second high school building was<br />
completed, and a dedication ceremony for the high school was held.<br />
Congratulations are in order to all <strong>of</strong> you who successfully completed your school year,<br />
especially to the class <strong>of</strong> 2003, which will be our first graduating class. You are setting the example.<br />
forging traditions and trails for other students to follow in your footsteps. In essence, you are making<br />
history in your school. We have grown together this year, and you have developed a sense <strong>of</strong> purpose<br />
and accomplishment that accompany a job well done.<br />
Dedicated teachers have given you a firm academic and teclmicallvocational foundation. They<br />
have raised your awareness about the rewards <strong>of</strong> education. You have been taught to set objectives and<br />
reach goals. Continue to integrate your successful C>.."J)Crienccs this year wiU1 your goals and dreams for<br />

I am very proud <strong>of</strong> our faculty and staff who devote their time and efforts toward achieving<br />
excellence in education and helping you to realize your potential. We are fortunate to have a high caliber<br />
teaching staff who take pride in their pr<strong>of</strong>ession and arc devoted to U1eir school and to you.<br />
A yearbook cmmot be produced without the dedication, perseverance and cooperation <strong>of</strong> many<br />
hard-working people. I would like to thank the entire yearbook staff, especially Ms. Tauisha Perdomo.<br />
yearbook advisor, who has devoted many hours <strong>of</strong> indefatigable work to this objective. Altl1ough each<br />
