About Ada Merritt K-8 Center

Ada Merritt K-8 Center was built in 1923 as the first junior high school in South Florida. The school sits in the heart of Miami's Little Havana. It closed in the 1970s, and the building was used as a Job Corps center until it was demolished. A replica of the Spanish colonial-style structure was rebuilt in 2003, retaining a main entrance guarded by two lion statues, and the replica was then incorporated into a larger structure that became the present campus, which the school describes as having Mediterranean architecture. It was named after a pioneer Miami educator. The campus is served by the district's Central Region office, and the Florida Department of Education named it a School of Excellence for 2023-24 and for 2024-25. It has also received a Magnet Schools of America Merit Award.
