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!"

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.

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!
Here is the link to this week's GREATNESS!!!!! Enjoy It's Almost Monday!!!

Our Art Department is Mrs. Hoeing and Mrs. Schultz! They are both Rushville grads and they do a phenomenal job of fostering creativity in their classrooms! We love when the showcases in our hallways get filled with student art- it is impressive!!!
We would like to start spotlighting our amazing teachers! First up is the Modern Language Department. Ms. Kemple and Ms. Rosario do such an amazing job teaching Spanish to our students! Spanish dual credit is a great way to rack up college credits for the ICC and even work towards the associates degree!
Our board is updated with a year to date percentage as well as the week! Keep up the great attendance, everyone!
At the school board meeting a few weeks ago, our tech department was recognized.
