Welcome our new IB Guidance Counselor:
Ms. Kara Sprinkle 
 

Hello! I am Ms. Kara Sprinkle, Robinson's new IB Counselor; not to be mistaken as "new," since this is my eighth year as a School Counselor! 

I moved from Northern California last year, and spent my first year in Tampa with the "BIG RED" aka Hillsborough H. S.

I am beyond excited for the opportunity to be a "Knight", supporting all of our students, families, staff, and community.

A Message from RIBLI President,
Mary Margaret Braddock:
I am honored to announce that I will be serving as the RIBLI President for the 2020-2021 school year. I have been a board member on RIBLI for the past three years and just transitioned to Past-President on the Robinson High School Foundation. I am a huge advocate for RHS and the IB program. 

Congratulations to our incoming freshman and sophomores, we are happy to have you join our family. While this school year is starting differently than expected, it is an exciting time for our students. My daughter is a senior and I have no doubt she will have a great school year thanks to the support of the administration, teachers and staff at RHS. 

RIBLI is funded solely by specific RIBLI donations and IB merchandise sales. It is run by a board of parent volunteers who work closely with administration to support the IB community and needs specific to the IB program.
