Why let spring have all of the fun showing off all of its blooms? Or only let the summer get things heated up?! Mavericks High of North Miami (MHNM) surely hasn’t; as they rounded out the end of the spring blooming with success and kicking off the summer with quite the sizzle! In a very short span, MHNM has had numerous achievements to celebrate.

For starters, they hosted an amazing career fair that boasted nearly 30 organizations. It was during this great event that MHNM’s very own Mr. Garshly Baptiste, a student ambassador, impressed one of the organizations so much that he actually was offered a scholarship on the spot from Florida Memorial University. Way to go Garshly! Next, Ms. Heather Thompson was recognized as our nominee for Devry University’s Educator of the Year. This included being invited to take part in a beautiful reception amongst other nominees, which was held inside of the newly renovated Student Lounge at their Miramar Campus. What an honor and esteemed group to be called member to! Lastly, and rounding out the end of the spring was Ms. Jessica Balan. This year marked the 31^st Annual High School Luncheon held by the Community Blood Centers of South Florida. During the event, which was held at the Signature Grand in Davie, several scholarships were awarded to educators, students, and schools—including our very own Jessica Balan. She had missed the original deadline but after being so impressed by her, the area collection director called and offered her a scholarship. Way to go to MHNM!!! Keep up the great work!
