Barbara Goleman Senior High School is a secondary school located at 14100 NW 89th Ave in Miami Lakes, Florida; its principal is Mr. Carlos Artime. Goleman pertains to Miami-Dade County Public Schools Region I, and is school number 7751.
Construction at Goleman began in November of 1994. Its doors opened to its founding group of students on August 28, 1995. The school was built to relieve overcrowding at Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School located in nearby Hialeah and American Senior High School in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida. Although it uses a Miami Lakes address, Goleman mainly serves the city of Hialeah Gardens. The school's location next to Interstate 75 makes it one of the first notable structures to greet travellers as they enter the county. Beginning in the early 2000s, the school suffered from rampant overcrowding due to a sudden population explosion in the area.
Barbara Goleman still ranks as second most populated in the district after G. Holmes Braddock High School. There is no uniform policy currently in effect, although a dress code exists that prohibits forms of clothing or footwear that are inappropriate for a school environment, including, but not limited to, hats, shorts, skorts, flip-flops, tube tops, sunglasses, and apparel that has a wrritten message or symbol relating to profanity or illegal activities.
The school's mascot and colors, chosen by its first and second classes (Class of 1998) and (Class of 1999), were picked to reflect Florida's two major public universities � the mascot was taken from the University of Florida while the colors were taken from Florida State University.
The school is named after Barbara Goleman, 1969 National Teacher of the Year, the only Miami-Dade County Public School teacher to ever receive this title. A framed, color portrait of her hangs in the school's main office.
Barbara Goleman's athletic rival is American Senior High School. The school serves as the western terminus for Miami-Dade Transit bus route 54.
In 2004 the school's football team won their first district championship with wins against heavily favored rivals Hialeah High, American Senior High and Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High. Running backs Angel Quail and Randy Sherrod become the first running back duo to both rush for 1000 yards in a season in over a decade in Dade County. Head Coach Leonard Patrick was named High School Coach of the Year in Dade County.
Layout & Numbering: Barbara Goleman Senior High is comprised of twelve buildings. Buildings 1, 2, 11, and 12 are stand-alone, whereas Buildings 3-10 are interconnected.
Building 1 is the largest building in the school, as well as the only building with three floors. It is located on the northern side of the school, directly opposite from Building 2, which houses administrative offices on the first floor, and the school's media center on the second floor. Building 3 is the auditorium, located to the south of Building 2. Buildings 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 have a combined student capacity near that of Building 1, and are located on the south side of the campus. Most elective courses are located in Buildings 4 and 5, while most science courses are located in Buildings 8 and 9. Building 6 is the cafeteria, although there are no publicly-visible signs that designate it as such. Building 10 is the Jorge O. Sotolongo gymnasium, dedicated to the school's founding principal in 2000.
In addition to the original buildings, the school also has twenty-five portables located to the west of Building 1. These portables are internally known as Building 11, although they are not one unified building. Similar to the cafeteria, there are no signs that show this number. Building 12 is commonly referred to as the "C" building, the "M" building, or the modular. It is a modular building recently added to the school, just to the west of Buildings 8-9.
The school uses a room numbering system that eases the process of finding a specific room. The first digit of a room number stands for the building in which it is located. The second digit represents the floor that the room is on. The last two digits are the "true" room number. For example, room 1-116 is located in the first building, first floor. The system is modified for the buildings with two-digit numbers because the scheduling system cannot handle five-digit room numbers. Building 10, the gymnasium, is simply referred to as "GYM1", "GYM2", "GYM3", "GYM4", "GYM5", or "GYM6" on student schedules, with the number serving to indicate which teacher the student has been assigned to. For the portables, the numbering system is similar to the one in use for Buildings 1-9, except the letter "P" is used in lieu of "11". In the modular building, the letter "C" was used instead of "12". This letter was changed to "M" at the start of the 2006-2007 school year, which is why it can be referred to as the "M" or "C" building.
Lockers are numbered in a similar fashion. An example of the locker numbering system would be "A2113". The A represents the building number ("A" is used because it is the first letter of the alphabet, so the locker is in the first building; "B" is used for lockers in the second building, "C" for lockers in the third, and so on), while the "2" represents the floor, in this case, the second floor. The last three digits are the actual locker number, which is "113".
