History

MCC became part of legal history when a student who was ineligible to play football due to a recruiting violation filed a suit to be reinstated. The Athletic Association (FHSAA) demurred and took the case to the District Court in Florida High School Athletic Association v. Melbourne Central Catholic(Fla.App. 5 Dist.,), No. 5D03-3437, March 26, 2004. The court ruled that a student must first exhaust his administrative remedies, i.e. with the Athletic Association, before filing suit to be reinstated.[5]

In 2010, all 109 graduates were accepted into college. They had earned $4.2 million in scholarships.[1]
