Robinson High School Principal David Brown has had a very eventful experience with the Knights so far, navigating a new school and student body all while the school is being redone. He remains confident and looks forward to being settled in a freshly renovated school.

Q: What are you most excited about, when school construction is done?

DB: I’m excited that we will have a sense of normalcy, instead of being in portables and worrying about rain and bells not working and I’m very excited that the students and teachers will have access to all of this very exciting stuff.

Q: Are we on the right track for construction, will we be finished in time for next school year?

DB: Yes we have weekly meetings, so they meet every Wednesday morning just to touch base, but yes as of right now everything’s still on track, but you always have to take into consideration that the supply chain gets delayed but we are still on schedule.

Q: Will there will be lockers in the new building? 

DB: Yes there will be lockers.

Q: What has been the hardest part of construction for you and the students? 

DB: Having to be flexible, some mornings I will get here and the power or water will be off, it’s just that inconvenience of always having something that should be fixed or replaced so that gets frustrating.

Q: What is your favorite part of Robinson as a whole?

DB: I like everything about Robinson, I like the spirit I feel as though the students love it, even though we only have 1400 kids here, everyone supports one another, even though all this craziness is going on everyone comes in every day and tries to put a smile on their face.

Q: What is the update on the football field and locker rooms? 

DB: The field will be getting artificial turf and a rubber track but it won’t be until either this summer or next summer. The locker rooms are getting redone starting March 1st, there will be a boys and girls locker room and a training room.

Q: If you could pick one thing to put in the school what would you pick? 

DB: I don’t know if there’s anything that I want to put in here, I would rather spend the energy on something that’s already here. I love the media center don’t get me wrong but it could use an overhaul, it could use a lot of sprucing up and modernization, but as far as the new building I’m excited about that and the culinary arts suite is going to be really nice. We may add more career technical programs as well which I’m excited about.
