The Silver Knight awards are among the nation’s most highly regarded student award programs, and as a community, Belen Jesuit is proud to be a part of this program sponsored by The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald. The purpose of the Silver Knight awards is to recognize extraordinary students, in both Miami-Dade and Broward counties, who have excelled in the classroom as well as contributed, unselfishly, to their community and/or society as a whole. Leadership, perseverance, and overcoming challenges are what make a Silver Knight nominee stand out among the rest.  Each nominee chosen each year falls nothing short of serving as examples of what it means to be a true man for others, with their Jesuit values at the core of everything they do.
