Part 5! Scientific Ways of Knowing is another section of the Indiana College Core. Brooke Edwards is the instructor for BIO 101. The class Introduces the basic concepts of life, including discussion of cellular and organismal biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and interaction among all living organisms. The class also addresses applications of biology in a global community. Students are also exposed to and practice crucial lab skills, data collecting and analysis, and learn to develop and write evidence-based research papers.

Part 4! The next section of the ICC I would like to highlight is Speaking and Listening. Advanced Public Speaking is a course that satisfies this section of the ICC. Mrs. Jennifer Teague will be teaching this course for the next school year. Advanced Public Speaking is a dual credit course through Indiana University. The curriculum requires students to explore and consider why we communicate in certain ways and how to utilize various rhetorical approaches to construct effective speeches for a variety of purposes. We study public speaking through a philosophical lens, preparing students for successful communication in college and throughout their careers.

Congratulations Brooklyn Newbold! You have an incredible talent!

If you are interested, go to the event on the flyer or you can come see Chris Bottomley when he is at the high school each Monday. This is a great opportunity!

Part 3! We will be looking at the category Social and Behavioral Ways of Knowing. Mr. James Marlatt is our RCHS instructor for this course. Students need a minimum of 3 credits in this category. Dual Credit U.S. History offers students the opportunity to earn 6 college credits (3 per semester) in U.S. History. The class challenges students with a fast-paced, rigorous curriculum that focuses on historical analysis, argumentative writing, perspectives, and connection to the contemporary world. Dual Credit U.S. History is an excellent opportunity to learn about the history of the United States, earn college credit, and also prepare for the challenges of a college workload.

Part 2! We will be looking at the ICC section titled “Humanistic Ways of Knowing” Students must have a minimum of 3 credits in this course, but no more than 15. Included in this section are Spanish classes (Levels 3 and 4) and L202 (Literary Analysis). Spanish 3 is required for the ICC, but if you are interested in an Associate’s Degree, Spanish 4 is important because it helps you get to the required 60 credit hours! Amaranta Kemple teaches Spanish 3 and 4 and Keith Perin teaches L202. Spanish 3 and 4 are fast paced classes where the students not only learn vocabulary and grammar, but they also use it. Through the school year the students are involved in many projects where they apply in relevant situations what they are learning, like learning to drive, eating at a restaurant, planning a party, analyzing and writing books, writing emails and texts, etc. We use authentic resources that allow the students to learn about the Hispanic culture from Hispanic resources, magazines and books in Spanish, songs from Hispanic singers, videos from different Hispanic countries, etc. The students also practice regularly speaking Spanish with their classmates and through class presentations.

This is part 1 of a 6 part series! I will be highlighting each of the categories of the Indiana College Core and which RCHS teacher teaches them! The first category that I would like to spotlight is the Quantitative Reasoning (Math) section. Mr. Riddell and Mrs. Brashaber currently teach these courses. ICC students need a minimum of 3 credits and no more than 15 in this section. Mr. Riddell teaches Trig with Analytic Geometry and Quantitative Reasoning. Mrs. Brashaber teaches Finite Mathematics and Calculus I. Mrs. Brashaber has been teaching calculus for 20 years. She was affiliated with Vincennes University for 14 years and then switched to Ivy Tech this year for this Math 211 class. She has had students go on to careers in engineering, architecture, medicine, physical therapy, nursing, teaching, and many more. This class is often the first class that STEM students must take in their major, but there are many students who test out of any further math classes in their college career.

Every year eight schools come together to recognize some very outstanding individuals. We hosted close to 200 guests for the annual I-Star dinner and ceremony. It was truly team effort that made this night so special. Amy Fox made a slide show that scrolled throughout dinner and then was used as a major part of the ceremony. Jill Carmony and her students made the desserts for the dinner. Connie and Jeff Amos provided the pulled pork. Megan Alexander put together 11 juniors to help greet and guide throughout the evening. Liz Meek and Collin McCartt did everything behind the scenes to pull this night off. Our very own cafeteria staff members Misty Fields, Tina Huffman, and Sandy Abrams worked the dinner for us. But the night was about the students and teachers being honored. Thank you to Lindsay Chase with Chase'N Memories Photography for offering her services and taking AMAZING photos of all students! 1. Mallory Angle - Selected Pat Haney to recognize 2. Gabby Pavey - Selected Toni Schultz to recognize 3. Parker Wicker - Selected T.R. Campbell to recognize Congratulations to all of these Amazing Humans!!!!

RCHS Athletics: Senior Kylie Gray has decided to continue her academic and athletic career at Franklin College playing softball. (As fellow Grizzlies, Mr. McCartt and Mrs. Meek are extra excited!!)

RCHS Track and Field: Senior Chase Woolf beat the school record for the indoor 60 meter dash! The previous record was made by Gunner Yurack in 2017, who ran a 7.34. Chase ran a 7.31 yesterday at the Indoor Anderson University meet! Congratulations!
