Teepeedia is a community-built archive dedicated to preserving the history of Miami Carol City Senior High School and the Carol City neighborhood.

As the neighborhood changes and memories fade, photos and stories get buried in Facebook posts and lost over time. Teepeedia exists to change that — a permanent, searchable home for the people, places, and moments that define Carol City.

The School

Miami Carol City Senior High School (MCCSH) is a public high school located at 3301 Miami Gardens Drive in Miami Gardens, Florida. Established in 1963, the school is part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools system. Home of the Chiefs, orange and black.

The school opened in an unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County surrounded by farmland. It became a cornerstone of the Carol City community, producing athletes, artists, and leaders who went on to make their mark nationally and beyond.

Athletics

Football is central to the identity of Carol City. The Chiefs won the Football State Championship in 1977 with a perfect 14-0 season, and went on to claim three more state championships between 1996 and 2003.

The school has produced an extraordinary number of NFL players, with Carol City ranking among the top high schools in the country for NFL alumni.
