The RCHS Theater Department proudly presents a summer mentorship performance of Harvey by Mary Chase. Showtimes will be August 2nd and 3rd at 6:30pm in the RCPAC at RCHS. Tickets can be bought via the QR code shown on the flyer or at the venue.
Due to construction in the RCHS Commons, patrons should enter through the Agriculture Hall entrance (between the school and the tennis courts on the north side of the building), the main entrance, or Exit 8 (back circle drive). Parking is available at the corner lot across from Ron Herrin Gymnasium, along the road, and in the back parking areas. Please be cautious of the construction and maneuver with care.
RCHS is excited to welcome students back for the 2024-2025 school year! Back To School Night will be held Monday, August 12 from 6:30-8:30pm.
Reminder: RCHS does not put out a school supply list. As each student has a schedule tailored to their interests, students do not get a master list. Instead, students will find out what supplies - if any - are required when they attend their classes. A notebook and/or folder plus a pencil would be beneficial to have the first day of school.
UPDATED - The 2024-2025 District Calendar has been udpated. Early dismissal dates have been added to the calendar.
First day of student attendance is August 14th. We look forward to seeing everyone back!
Online Registration continues through July 22nd.
