Panther satisfaction
A tribute from Florida Politics’ Jesse Scheckner, Miami Palmetto Senior Excessive Class of 1999.
By the time I crossed the stage for my diploma from Miami Palmetto Senior Excessive, Supreme Court docket Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was 11 years gone. She graduated in 1988, the yr she captured a nationwide debate title, a precursor of issues to return.
She was quoted in the faculty yearbook, the Palm Echo as saying, “I need to go into legislation and finally have a judicial appointment.”
Mission completed. After which some.
In 1996, three years earlier than I graduated, she’d gotten her juris physician from Harvard Regulation Faculty, an establishment to which her highschool steerage counselor advisable she not apply.
Justice Jackson, the first Black lady in historical past to be appointed to the highest court docket in the land, is hardly the first well-known particular person to have come from Palmetto, a domestically well-regarded public faculty in an upper-middle-class suburban space of Miami-Dade County now included as the Village of Pinecrest.
Amongst its alums: Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, astronaut Dominic Glorie, blended martial artist Kimbo Slice, Olympians Matt Gribble and Jennifer Rodriguez, Surgeon Common Vivek Murthy, Emmy Award-winning wildlife knowledgeable Ron Magill, pop star Camila Cabello, NBA participant Tim Hardaway Jr. and Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, Florida’s solely statewide elected Democrat.
That’s to not point out a slew of media members, together with TV producer Invoice Herbstman, former Miami Herald Managing Editor Rick Hirsch, CNN managing producer Noah Grey, author Ben Greenman, Washington Submit reporter Meryl Kornfield, WSVN reporter Danny Rivero, Herald reporter Linda Robertson and, in fact, yours really.
When phrase of Jackson’s nomination got here out in February, it was a moment for me and my fellow Panthers to rejoice, every of us including to a listing of alumni on Twitter. As a youngster crossing that stage, I had little appreciation for faculty spirit. As a person in my 40s with a firmer grasp on the worth of legacy, it’s clear Jackson’s ascent to the highest echelon of her chosen occupation is a milestone for us all.
