History

Construction

Hialeah Gardens High School was built as an overcrowding reliever school for Barbara Goleman High School. Hialeah Gardens High School serves portions of extreme western Hialeah and the city of Hialeah Gardens; in turn, Barbara Goleman High School took territory from the boundary of American High School. Due to unforeseen construction delays, the student body was divided between the Barbara Goleman High School campus and the Hialeah Gardens Middle School campus for the 2008-2009 school year. The 2009–2010 school year was the first time the building was open and all students began attending the campus.

In the school's inaugural year, it housed the classes of 2011 and 2012. Hialeah Gardens' first graduating class was the Class of 2011, whose graduation took place at Florida International University on June 10, 2011.
