Elysium , Coral Reef High 's literary/arts magazine, is
designed to showcase student creativity in both
writing and the visual arts. Published continuously
since 2005, the magazine seeks to establish ties with
the larger community, recognize exemplary student
work, and teach professional design & layout.
We believe there is real value in preserving print media.
Yearbooks record memories. Newspapers chronicle events. Only art and literature capture a soul.
Coral Reef High opened in 1997 and sits on 59 acres in Richmond Heights, a suburb of Miami, Fl.
CRHS is a four-year public school comprised of six magnets: International Baccalaureate, Business and Finance, Agriculture & Engineering Technology, Health Sciences, Visual and Performing Arts, and Legal & Public Affairs. 3,090 students are currently enrolled.
