History :
Nautilus started as an elementary school serving the Miami Beach, Nautilus Area Only and had a registration of 400 students from Kindergarten through Grade 8. Mr. Saunders was the first principal, followed by Mr. Rice. In 1955 it was changed to a Junior High School serving all of the Miami Beach Area north of Dade Blvd. and some sections of Miami. At one time more than 1600 students attended and 900 were bussed in.
The building itself has been a constant study in growth and additions. The cafeteria was originally a combination auditorium and cafeteria. The Boys Locker Room arrived on the scene in 1952, the Band Room in 1955, and the Auditorium in 1958. Science was recognized with its own wing in 1960, and the Wood Shop, Girls Locker Room and Music Lab in 1961. The original Library was added in 1962. Nautilus continues the tradition of seeking to provide the best for its students.
