The school is about a mile and a half west of the University of Miami. It contains a magnet program, officially named the Celia Cruz School of the Arts, which offers programs in seven strands: Media Production, Computer Graphics, Music, Photography, Commercial Arts, Dance, and Drama. As the alma mater says, the "hope and pride" of South Miami Senior opened its doors to students for the first time on November 10, 1971. The original student body selected the Cobra mascot and the school colors of orange, brown, and white, the team colors of the NFL Cleveland Browns. Today the Cobra mascot reigns from its third story roof, greeting all who pass by "Cobra Country" on Miller Road.
