Welcome from Principal Michelle Camp

As the principal of Joe T. Robinson High School, I value the experiences we provide to equip pretty cool people to do some pretty cool things!!! I’m excited to introduce our two dynamic academies: The Academy of Business and Design, and The Academy of Science and Technology. These academies offer pathways designed to prepare students for college and future careers.

In the Academy of Business and Design, students can explore entrepreneurship, business finance, fashion & interior design, and visual arts & design. These pathways provide hands-on experiences and coursework tailored to develop skills necessary for success in various industries, from starting a business to pursuing a career in design or finance. Transitioning to the Academy of Science and Technology, students can delve into pathways such as industrial equipment technology, energy production and distribution, computer science programming, and nutrition & dietetics. These pathways offer specialized training in fields critical to our evolving world, from technology to energy and healthcare.

At Joe T. Robinson High School, we’re committed to empowering students to pursue their passions and excel in their chosen fields. Through our academies, we provide a supportive environment where students can explore, learn, and thrive as they prepare for the future. We are excited for you to be a part of that work!
