HISTORY

Richmond Heights Middle School  (R.H.M.S.) is located in a predominately African-American suburban community in southwest Miami-Dade County, Florida.  Local community leaders who were eager to provide additional educational experiences for its youths envisioned it.  It is situated on 23.10 acres and was named for the contiguous community.  It was established in 1963 and opened its doors during that year under the leadership of Dr. Edward J.  Arahill.  Principals who have served here are: Dr. Edward J. Arahill, Harold Knott, Dr. Dwight Witty, Lonnie Coleman, Dr. Fred Rodgers, Freddie Woodson, Lucille Bentley, Lemmie Deliford, Willie J. Harris (former R.H.M.S. student), Charles E. Hankerson (former R.H.M.S. student) and Dr. Mona Bethel Jackson (former Frank C. Martin Elementary student).  The current principal, Dr. Mona Bethel Jackson, was reared in Richmond Heights.
