Robinson was selected Indiana’s Superintendent of the Year among many other honours in 2018. Robinson said in an interview:
“I don’t see this as something for me. I see it as a recognition of the work that happens in this district every single day. And that makes it more important that people recognize there are great things happening in the district because of the people in it.”
Involved in the neighborhood, Robinson served on many boards including Parkview Health and Learning Forward. The Family and Community Engagement Center for the school district, which Robinson assisted in establishing in 2016, was called in her honor in 2022.
