Miami is known for its rowdy Spring Breaks that bring all sorts of shenanigans to South Beach. As one of the hottest tourist destinations in the country, the city expands during the Spring Break weeks in mid-March. For local adults, the festivities bring more traffic, more noise, and longer lines.

But for high schoolers, Spring Break brings a well deserved respite from school.

Maybe you’re going to chill at home binging Netflix. Maybe you’re going to work. Maybe you’re getting out of South Florida on a trip.

However you’re spending your Spring Break this year, we want to hear from you. We’re looking for high schoolers to follow as we document how students spend their vacation from classes.

Tell us what your Spring Break plans are by filling out the form below. Nothing you submit will be published, but a reporter may follow up for more information.
