It is always exciting to begin a new school year, giving each student a fresh start and the opportunity to build on past successes. We encourage all students to get off to a good start and get involved at RCHS. We also want parents to be involved in their student’s education and in the school community. It is the shared responsibility of parents, staff and students to assure that students learn and grow throughout the educational process. In addition, RCHS is committed to provide the safest, most positive learning environment we can. To help us achieve this goal, we will continue to focus on improving our safety drills and our ALICE protocols for crisis situations.
