    Jose E. Roca '84 | Principal
    (Our Seniors were present in class for the last time on April 27.  It brings to an end a stage in their lives which began anywhere from four to seven years ago and has defined them as Belen Jesuit students.  Therefore, I would like to dedicate my reflection in this enewsletter to the Class of 2017.)

BELEN JESUIT PREPARATORY SCHOOL
500 SW 127th Avenue, Miami, FL 33184

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba by Queen Isabel II of Spain.  The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline.  In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the School property and expelled the Jesuit faculty.  The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow.  Today, Belen Jesuit sits on a 30-acre site in western Dade County, only minutes away from downtown Miami.
