Q.I. Roberts Jr.-Sr. High School recently held its annual pinning ceremony to welcome freshmen and sophomores into the Cambridge International Curriculum, honor the academic wins of upperclassmen, and induct new members into the National Honor Society. During the event, the school recognized 205 students who passed a total of 707 Cambridge exams this year, with 18 exams passed at the highest level. A special group of 25 students was celebrated for earning their full Cambridge AICE diploma. The school also inducted its newest class of National Honor Society members, who maintain at least a 3.5 GPA while leading local service projects. For those who missed the event or wish to watch it again, a full video of the ceremony is available below.
These milestones open real opportunities for our families. Earning the Cambridge AICE diploma earns the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship, which covers 100% of college tuition at Florida public universities. The students honored at the ceremony have earned over 2,000 college credit hours, saving their families nearly half a million dollars in college tuition. This consistent success has led the Florida legislature to name Q.I. Roberts a School of Excellence for seven straight years. We currently rank 8th among combination schools in Florida.
In addition to academic achievement, the ceremony highlighted our commitment to community leadership. Chapter Advisor Michele Knowles and student officers—President Siya Patel, Vice President Ethan Porch, Treasurer Karly Durham, Parliamentarian Onyx Vinson, and Social Media Specialist Jocelyn Harper—welcomed the new National Honor Society inductees. Members were recognized for their work with local causes, including Seamark Ranch, the Cancer Center of Putnam, Wolfson Children’s Hospital, Peniel Road cleanup, and seasonal drives for local families and veterans.
Our success goes deeper than test scores and rankings. While our students perform near the top of the state across all subjects, our primary goal is to help them build strategic skill application, critical thinking, and resilience. In our classrooms and in the community, our students grow into independent self-advocates who are ready to lead with character and purpose.
