Lisa Peterson | Director of College Counseling
The College Board announced that 15 Belen Jesuit seniors have been named 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. Approximately 5,000 academically outstanding high school students from the more than 400,000 Hispanic and Latino juniors who take the PSAT/NMSQT are awarded a certificate.

“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 students and true men for others.

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.
