Sami DeLey and Karley Yager are two new teachers to RCHS in the Ag Department. They have hit the ground running with FFA and their classes! We are so lucky to have these individuals at our school! Please join us in welcoming them to Rushville!

Our science department consists of Brooke Edwards, Ashrey Durand, Brad Lawler, and Jessica Rinard. It is always great to pop into their classrooms to see what engaging activities they have going on for their students! Ashrey joined RCHS in the middle of the year last year, so we are excited to welcome her for her first full year with us!

We would like to spotlight Trenia Logan, our Opportunity School Teacher! She works with this students to not just make up the credits that they need, but also teaches them important life skills! Trenia's students average 15-20 credits completed every week as a whole. Trenia gives an update on Opportunity School credits below. Thank you for all you do for our students! 2023-2024 school year saw 20 students graduate. We ended the year with remaining current students on target for their class standing with the exception of one student who was still behind in credits. 2024-2025 school year we currently have 25 students. Five of those have already completed their academic requirements for graduation. Two of those five are participating in the ICE program.

Joni Fenimore was recognized at the board meeting at RCHS Staff Member of the Month! Joni has been so welcoming to our new staff members. Many of them comment on how she has been so beneficial in their transition to RCHS. Joni has an upbeat personality and is a phenomenal educator. We are so lucky to have her at RCHS!

Lacie Madden was nominated by Mrs. Hoeing and is the RCHS student of the month! Mrs. Hoeing says the following about Lacie "I have Lacie on Red and Black Days and she pushes herself very hard on every project she has done so far. She does a great job of accomplishing each small task to work towards completing big-picture goals. She has recently created a zombie bank, a heart-and-rose mobile, and ceramic plates. She's done a great job at overcoming obstacles that she's faced and persevered each time. She has grown so much since I first met her three years ago!"

This is a reminder that school will not be in session on Monday, September 2nd, 2024.

RCHS Students and FFA Chapter Officers- Meredith Erwin, Jentri Wallace, Jenna Lawler, and Haley Stahl- attended "Shop Talk," an Ag policy discussion sponsored by the Indiana Soybean Alliance and the Indiana Corn Growers Association and hosted by Mark Bacon. Students had the chance to meet political leaders Cory Criswell and Jefferson Shreve. While there, these students got to explore what it is like to have a career in Ag Policy and Economics.

Our Math Department is up next! Please welcome Libby Adams to the math department! She joins Karen Brashaber, Joni Fenimore, Jenni Philpot, and Lisa Wagner. Our math department has a combined total of 143 years of experience! We are so thankful to have them at RCHS!

The seniors are still leading in attendance, but the freshmen made a run last week trailing the seniors by only .49%! YTD the juniors are catching up and only trailing the seniors by .33%. Who will win the month of August??

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! ⚽️💜 This year is the 4th Annual SPARC x Lady Lions Soccer Suicide Prevention game. This game means so much to our coaches and athletes. Our hope is that more people will be aware of the amazing resources Rush County has available for mental health. Each year we donate our proceeds to the family of Zora Allstatter, a gifted Union County student-athlete who tragically took her own life in 2021. Zora's family uses the money we raise each year to supply scholarships to several deserving high school seniors at Union County to offset college costs for them. This year we are selling rubber bracelets in Rushville colors, Union County colors, and Suicide Prevention colors for $6 each. Those interested can reach out to any RCHS girls soccer athlete or coach to place their order. We look forward to seeing our community rally around us for such a great cause!

Next up is our Business Department! We are excited to welcome Mr. James Allen to the Lion Family! Julie Wainwright and Diane Personett are veteran teachers in this department and are making sure he feels right at home! Please join us in welcoming James as well as celebrating Julie and Diane!
