History
Construction
Hialeah Gardens was built as an overcrowding reliever school for Barbara Goleman High School, serving portions of extreme western Hialeah and the city of Hialeah Gardens; in turn Goleman took territory from the boundary of American High School. Due to unforeseen construction delays, the student body was divided between the Goleman campus (sophomores) and the Hialeah Gardens Middle School campus (freshmen) for the 2008-2009 school year. The 2009-2010 school year was the first time the building was open.
Founding classes
In the school's inaugural year, it housed the classes of 2011 and 2012. Hialeah Gardens' first graduating class was the Class of 2011, whose graduation took place at Florida International University on June 10, 2011.
