In 2015 we warned you that the new Miami Springs pool was going to be much smaller than the grand olympic sized pool we had for over 50 years. We also informed you that much of the money was going into creating more buildings. In other words, more building space. Less pool space. Now you can see the construction of the new pool with your own eyes. Total construction cost: $5 MILLION.
We were so pleased to see so many former Golden Hawks returning to Miami Springs to participate in the resurrected Miami Springs Senior High MEGA Reunion. We personally caught up with friends from the class of ’92 and class of ’93 who had travelled across the country from California and Washington respectively. Now that’s a commitment to reconnect with old friends.
But it wasn’t just a ’90s thing. There were Golden Hawks from the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, early 2000s, and the 20 teens.
It was also cool to see alums with the Golden Hawk name badges with their names and graduating class on their chest. (Trust me. It helps us older alums who totally forgot your name.)
The Golden Hawks pulled out all the stops including bringing the Mascots for great photo opportunities.
The MEGA Reunion Tent was placed along Stadnik Way across from the Metro by T-Mobile store. And it definitely attracted a sizable crowd Saturday night.
The Hawks also had a DJ placing classic dance music ranging from disco to hip hop and much more.
The Golden Hawks didn’t stop with just the MSSH MEGA Reunion. They also added BINGO and a Domino tournament.
Special thanks to Nick Acosta and the administration at Miami Springs Senior High for supporting the resurrection of the MSSH Mega Reunion and for adding these new events to the River Cities Festival.
