Miramar-Flanagan Brawl (2007)

On September 28, 2007, at Miramar High's stadium, a bench-clearing brawl between seated, rival footballers interrupted the Miramar-Flanagan football game; this was Broward County's largest on-field brawl. A referee stopped the game to prevent further outbreaks on the field and eruptions in the bleachers.

Following the interruption of the game, a film of the occurrence was sent to the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) to decide the fate of the belligerent parties. The FHSAA suspended 28 Miramar players and 26 Flanagan players from playing. In addition, the State of Florida fined both schools a total of $12,150, and neither school was allowed to participate in the 2008 Spring Jamboree or the 2008 Fall Pre-season Jamboree.

The game resumed on October 29, 2007, in an empty Lockhart Stadium with five minutes remaining in the third quarter and with Miramar leading 20–7. The game was played without the 54 suspended players. This incident is thought to be the largest mass-suspension in state high school history.

State Championship (2009)

Miramar High School won their first State Championship title on Dec 19, 2009. Miramar High School beat DeLand High School of DeLand, Florida 42–20. Quarterback Ryan Williams set a state championship game record with 5 TD passes and a completion percentage record of .857, going 18 of 21 for 254 yards. Miramar High was the first team from Broward County to win a 6A state championship and the first in the county to win in the largest classification since Hollywood Hills won 4A in 1973.

Miramar High's athletic rival is Everglades High School.
