Rowing Season Kicks-off
The Belen Jesuit Crew team participated in Head of the Indian Creek Regatta in Miami Beach on October 16.
The annual 2.7-mile race against the clock on the scenic Indian Creek was a great way to begin the crew season. Race categories cover the entire range of competitors (high school, masters, colleges, and open classes) from recreation singles to championship eights. Our Wolverines brought home 7 gold, 4 silver, and 3 bronze medals.

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's 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 is situated on a 34-acre site in western Dade County, just minutes away from downtown Miami.
