Construction
Hialeah Gardens High School was built as an overcrowding reliever school for Barbara Goleman High School. Hialeah Gardens High School serves portions of extreme western Hialeah and the city of Hialeah Gardens; in turn Barbara Goleman High School took territory from the boundary of American High School. Due to unforeseen construction delays, the student body was divided between the Barbara Goleman High School 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 and all students began attending the campus.
