IB Class of 2023
The Robinson IB Class of 2023 offers have been released. Families can check their student's status through the district's website at
www.sdhc.k12.fl.us until Feb. 14th. Please get the word out to anyone you know who has applied!
Unfortunately, a congratulatory message was sent out to all students that had applied, not just those that were accepted into the program. This will obviously cause frustration among families whose student was not officially offered a seat in the RHS IB program, but received an acceptance message. Please encourage any families this may have impacted to call Mr. Johnson as he would like to personally apologize to all he can.
We look forward to welcoming our new Knights to the Robinson Family.

IB Teacher of the Month
We'd like to recognize our first IB Teacher of the Month, Craig Everhart! Our students were given the option to nominate their favorite teacher for the month of February, by writing quick notes to their teachers letting them know why THEY ARE APPRECIATED! We had dozens of nominations and then drew the lucky winner for a prize. Congrats Coach Everhart, you deserve it!
