On February 11, 2017, Miami-Dade County Public Schools welcomed seven new members to its Alumni Hall of Fame. Hundreds of South Florida leaders joined in celebrating these great Miamians during the second annual "For the Love of Learning" gala benefiting the Foundation for New Education Initiatives, Inc. The seven were inducted earlier that evening in a more intimate ceremony. We hope you enjoy this tribute to them.
