Sports Leadership and Management Charter School
Sports Leadership and Management Charter School (SLAM) is a public charter school for intermediate and secondary grade levels in Little Havana, Miami, Florida.
There are two other SLAM campuses: By 2015 the Henderson, Nevada campus opened, and in 2016 the West Palm Beach, Florida campus opened.[1]
The rapper Pitbull founded SLAM, which opened in 2013. He chose to focus the school on vocational studies to attract students who were uninterested in academic subjects.[2] He formed a partnership between the school and the Miami Marlins.[3]
Programs
[edit]By 2021 the Miami campus had the only high school student-operated Sirius XM station.[4]
