The Belen community is proud to announce that six student athletes signed national letters of intent to play their respective sports at the collegiate level. The signing ceremony took place on April 4, in the Belen Jesuit Dining Hall.
 
“These young men have been able to be at the top of their game to go play at the next level, all the while without any concessions being made academically.” said Belen President Jesuit Father Guillermo García-Tuñón ‘87. “It goes without saying we are very proud of these students for everything they have done for the school, for their families and for themselves.”

The student athletes who signed national letters of intent were as follows:

Jayson Repine, soccer - Niagara University
Lucas Fernandez, soccer - Manhattan College
Sebastian Roa, cross country - Emory University
Michael Rodriguez, baseball - University of Wisconsin
Robert Curbelo, baseball - Bates College
Manuel Romero, golf - University of Hartford

“I’m excited to go and play at the next level. I’ve been helped by a lot of people, and a lot of those people were here today,” said senior Jayson Repine after the ceremony. “I’m grateful for the opportunity and I’m going to try and make the most of it.”

“The fact is, a small percentage of high school students get the privilege to play at the next level. These students are ambassadors for Belen at that level.” said Principal Jose E. Roca ‘84. “We’re very proud of them.”

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.
