Educational Excellence School Advisory Council

Purpose

EESAC is a collaborative effort meant to improve the learning environment of the students at Miami Springs Senior High. Emphasis is placed on family and community involvement in order to enable our students to reach their highest level of social, behavioral, and academic achievement. One of the primary means by which the council seeks to accomplish this, is by preparing and evaluating the School Performance Excellence Plan (SPEP) as it directly impacts the delivery of the educational program and services required by Florida’s High Quality Educational System and the Miami Dade County Public Schools Strategic Planning Goals.
