Students are able to sign up for Summer School 2024 at RCHS. Summer school will begin on Thursday, May 30th and end on Friday, July 5th. Please see the guidance office for a registration form that includes available courses. There is no cost associated with these courses.
Senate Bill 8 is currently passing through legislation that states that high schools need to offer the Indiana College Core by 2024-25 school year. RCHS is proud to say that we are ALREADY doing this and at $0 additional cost for our students! All of our ICC classes are given in person with no additional charges for the student. We have qualified dual credit certified teachers that are teaching these courses. RCHS is ahead of the curve and we are extremely lucky to have resources like Chris Bottomley and our guidance staff to help our students achieve this!
Here is the Lion Review for the week. SO many great things happening! Don't forget clocks spring forward this weekend......we will get to MONDAY SOONER!!!

Please take a moment to read Brittney Corum's words that she shared with our staff yesterday. Brittney is our Life Skills teacher at the high school. What a great way to end the day yesterday and what a great reminder! "Congratulations on getting through SAT testing day. I wanted to share what my students did in class today, as a way to maybe brighten up your day and give you some inspiration. I also want to remind everyone. WE CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE when we are ourselves and work together."
Deputy Doyle was on patrol in the hallways during SAT testing!!! Safest the halls have ever been!
Individually these students are amazing, together they are outstanding. These four students are the faces behind the bottle cap collection for our two memorial benches. Dana Durbin, Isabella Pavey, Carter Barnes, and Adrian Apodaca are the RCHS students of the month. Congratulations!
TR and Heather Campbell were recognized as RCHS staff members of the month! TR and Heather truly create a family atmosphere in their band community and it was truly incredible to read how they have impacted others in the school. They do so much behind the scenes work at the high school! We are SO thankful to have them in our building and community. Please join me in congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Campbell!
Are you familiar with the 3 E's? At RCHS we want to ensure that we have something for every student to be successful after graduation. There are 3 options for students when they graduate high school- more commonly referred to as the 3 E's. Enroll, Enlist, and Employ. Do you plan to enroll in college or another post secondary training? The Indiana College Core could be for you! If you are thinking about enlistment, we have different military branches come to our school during lunches. Come up and talk to them about the opportunities they provide! If you are someone who is going straight into employment or apprenticeship after high school, you could make sure you are setting up your high school schedule to optimize that opportunity with work based learning experiences. If you are unsure about your plan, Indiana Career Explorer is a free online career exploration and graduation planning tool that you can take a look at different careers!
The majority of Juniors at RCHS will be taking the SAT School Day on Thursday, March 7th. March 7th is a black day and the blocks are rearranged to accommodate testing for Juniors and also keep regular classes operating as normal as possible. The blocks will be the same length of time, just in a different order that day (Block 8, Block 2, Block 6, Block 4) Mrs. Meek has sent emails to both parents/guardians and students regarding this day. Please encourage your student to check their emails if they do not regularly.
