Every September, the College Board announces their National Hispanic Recognition Scholars. These are the students who scored in the top 2.5% on the PSAT among all Hispanic and Latino test-takers.
This year, we are proud to announce that we have 20 National Hispanic Recognition Scholars.
“These students work very hard in the classroom to achieve these grades,” said Principal Jose E. Roca. “All of the students recognized also maintain active extracurricular activities and several are also exemplary athletes. In all, they represent what it means to be well-rounded student and true men for others.
Please join us in congratulating the following seniors for this fantastic accomplishment:
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.
