The Mayor’s Blog would like to applaud the accomplishments of Roderick Robinson, Jr., a resident of the City of Apalachicola and a 2003, honor graduate of Apalachicola High School.During his high school years, Roderick served in several capacities, which included having the honor of serving as the 2003, President of the Student Government Association (SGA), a member on the Student Advisory Council (SAC) and the Franklin County Representative on the Students Working against Tobacco (SWAT) State Board of Representatives. After high school, he attended and graduated with a degree in Business Administration from the first participating class of Bethune-Cookman University.
While in college, Roderick served as Chaplain of the Religious Life Fellowship and a member of the Black Executive Exchange Program (BEEP). He began his ministry at the young age of twenty-one and is now serving as the youth minister at New Life Church here in Apalachicola. He will resume his studies this fall at Liberty University where he will study to obtain a Masters in Theology. For now, Roderick has joined the faculty of the new Franklin County Consolidated High School where he will teach Business Education.
