It is with great pride and pleasure that
I welcome all Miami Killian Senior High

year!
A special welcome back to the class of

leadership to our underclassmen. Your
leadership will be the foundation of our
success as a school; “Killian succeeds
because the Cougars lead.”
This year, we take pride in welcoming
our incoming freshmen, the class of

Now that you are in high school, much
will be expected of you. I urge you to
become actively involved in school by
becoming a member of the various
interest clubs and school organizations.
You are also encouraged to try-out for
one of our many high school athletic
programs. We offer many opportunities
for students to become involved in

We look forward to a year full of
challenges and rewards for all of us.
You will be challenged to put forth your
maximum effort regardless of your
ability, and you will be rewarded for
your hard work with an outstanding
educational experience.
Our school vision is to provide an
educational environment in which
students can “Aspire and Act to
Achieve.” Through this vision, we
recognize that it is not enough to
desire to, or imagine changes. We must
make proactive plans and take the
necessary steps to achieve goals, and
make dreams a reality.
We are proud to announce that our school
was number 388 on a list of the top 1500
public high schools in the nation by
Newsweek Magazine. The College Board has
recognized Miami Killian for being the
number one high school in the nation for
having the largest number of Hispanic
students with a passing score on the
Advanced Placement Human Geography test.
We congratulate all of the students and
teachers for their hard work and
dedication last year.
This year, as in the past, students will
be required to pass the Florida
Comprehensive Assessment Test to meet
high school graduation requirements.
Students, who score at FCAT Reading

take a science class in preparation for
the Science FCAT.
