 Bob Graham, former Governor of the State of Florida and former US Senator, began his "Workdays", a program where he worked eight-hour days at various jobs held by his constituents, in 1974, teaching a semester of civics at Miami Carol City Senior High School in Miami while serving in the Florida Senate.The school's academic reputation declined by 1981, when fewer than 70% of the students passed a basic achievement test, resulting in a "deficient" ranking for the school.The school received straight "D" rankings from 1998 to 2006.
