The school's construction broke ground on February 1, 2005. It was built as a relief school for overcrowded Miami Springs Senior High School, which used to the serve the area.[6] The school was also opened to relieve a distance problem, as high school students would have to commute seven to 9miles to reach Miami Springs High School.

The campus is located on 20acres,[7] has a capacity of about 2,000 students, and contains approximately 250000square feet of space.[6] Outdoor facilities include football, softball, baseball and soccer fields, as well as basketball, racquetball, and tennis courts. The facilities also include an 800-seat auditorium, a 700-seat cafeteria, a state-of-the-art Media Center, and an indoor gymnasium. The school opened its doors to students on August 14, 2006. In the 2008–2009 school year, 12th-grade students located within the boundaries of the school who used to be zoned to Miami Springs Senior High School were zoned to Reagan/Doral, making this the first year that the school had all four grade levels (9-12).
