South Dade Senior High School is a secondary school located at 28401 SW 167th Avenue in Homestead, Florida.The school was established in 1953.

South Dade Senior High School is situated in the middle of an agricultural area that is transitioning rapidly into a suburban community. Its student body consists of students from dozens of countries and ethnic groups.

The school was formerly the home of the Rebels in the late 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. The school was forced to change the school nickname because of political correctness. For a brief time, the school nickname became "Big Blue." Then at the 1979-1980 Homecoming Football Game, the school nickname became "Buccaneers."

In April 2008, the school relocated down the street from the old school, on the former agriculture field.

In the 2008-2009 school year, South Dade Senior High School became a magnet career school, offering six magnet academies: Professional Services; International Finance, Business & Technology; Sports, Nutrition & Health Science; Visual & Performing Arts; Law Studies & Public Safety; and International Education (IB).

Its athletic rival is Homestead High School (Homestead, Florida)
