Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) leads the nation with a total of 51 NAF Distinguished career academies and three Model career academies. This year, the district reached this new number by adding six new academies to its established list of Distinguished NAF Career Academies.

NAF is a national network of public-private partnerships that support career academies within traditional high schools.

Barbara Goleman Senior High’s Academy of Information Technology (IT), Miami Lakes Educational Center and Technical College’s Academy of Hospitality & Tourism, Miami Norland Senior High’s Academy of IT, Miami Sunset Senior High’s Academy of Hospitality & Tourism, North Miami Beach Senior High’s Academy of Finance, and Robert Morgan Educational Center and Technical College’s Academy of Finance join the ever-growing list of top performing programs at M-DCPS. In addition, the district has three Model academies (second highest quality level) meeting the highest proportion of academic standards.

These schools have demonstrated that their programs perform at the highest level in preparing their students for college and careers. Earning the score for recognition as a Distinguished Academy shows the highest level of fidelity to the NAF career academy model that provides students access to industry-specific curricula, work-based learning experiences and relationships with business professionals. These career academies are aligned with the One Community One Goal initiative targeting major industries that impact Miami’s economy.
