Jul 2014

in a booming area in the 'burbs of Miami.

On edit: I remember the number largely because some out of town relatives were so amazed by it. The school actually ran on shifts. 10th grade ran from 9:15 - 4:15; 11th from 8:15 - 3:15; and 12th from 7:15 - 2:15. and 1,297 seniors, including yours truly, graduated that particular year.
