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.

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!!!!
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.
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!

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!
