Robinson Secondary has won a 2020 College Success Award!
We are proud to announce that Robinson Secondary has received GreatSchools.org’ 2020 College Success Award!
The College Success Award recognizes and celebrates high schools, like ours, that demonstrate excellence in ensuring students are prepared to succeed in college.
Robinson is one of 2,158 schools in 29 states across the country to be honored with the Award, which is based on data indicating how our school prepares students to succeed after high school, including whether they enroll in college, are ready for college-level coursework when they get there, and persist into their second year. See the full list of winners from [state] and watch videos about promising practices at high schools across the country at https://www.greatschools.org/gk/csa-winners/.
We applaud the hard work of the entire Robinson community—including students, parents, teachers, and others that aspire to help our students succeed in college and beyond. Congratulations on receiving the 2020 College Success Award!

Fall and Academic Photos Needed
The yearbook staffs for MS and HS need your help. Please send in photos of your child/children partaking in any fall-themed or Halloween activities. Additionally, if you have pictures of your child/children working on school-related work that is NOT on the computer, we would love to have these as well.
Go Paperless: Action Requested
 Help save trees and FCPS $$ on postage by opting in to receive “Paperless” Report Cards (that can be printed through ParentVUE) Parents/Guardians may opt into “Go Paperless” for report cards by following the below instructions:
• Parents/Guardians can take advantage of the paperless option, by logging into ParentVUE, then going to “My Account” and selecting "Go Paperless!". This is the only way to keep a paper report card from being generated for students at the secondary level. All parents who share the same address as the student must have a SIS ParentVUE account and must select the paperless option.
Fall Activities
The yearbook staffs for MS and HS need your help. Please send in photos of your child/children partaking in any fall-themed or Halloween activities.
