Miami Sunset Senior High School is a secondary school of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools System located at 13125 SW 72nd Street in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA. Its principal is Lucia Cox.
Sunset opened its doors in 1977. Beginning in the late 1990s, Sunset became one of many overcrowded schools in the county, due to the population explosion in the metropolitan area. This forced the school district to build three other schools: G. Holmes Braddock High School, Felix Varela High School, and John A. Ferguson High School.
Academics
