With alumni, stakeholders, teachers, and students coming together, the event blossomed into a remarkable success.

FOGH Grant program
The grant program hopes to occupy the gap between Miami-Dade County Public School resources and the Parent Teacher Student Association’s mini-grants that keep the school maintained. Its most significant project includes the school’s renovation that is currently underway, of which they are a main campaigner. Because of FOGH’s advocacy, Gables and MDCPS has raised the construction budget from 11 million dollars to an impressive 30 million dollars.

Our journey has already seen an astounding $65,000 raised, yet we’re counting on you to help us achieve our $90,000 target.
We are excited to unveil the newly transformed faculty lounge! Through the incredible generosity of John and Pam Admire’s $30,000 donation, coupled with the steadfast support of Friends of Gables High members Stuart Grossman, Tom Parker, and June Morris, we have successfully revamped this area into a dynamic hub for relaxation, collaboration, and innovation.
