RHHS Wildcats News You Can Use

Happy MonYAY!

We hope you’re enjoying a restful and fun summer! While announcements are still light as we prepare for the upcoming school year, there are a few important updates we want to make sure are on your radar as we countdown to another amazing year at RHHS.

Please take a moment to review the key items below:

Open House – August 4, 2025 (Further Details Below)

We can’t wait to welcome you to our brand-new facility! To ensure a smooth experience for all families, Open House will run on a staggered schedule by grade level. This structure allows everyone time to explore the new building, connect with teachers, and get a feel for the campus without the crowd. Check your grade-level time slot and plan accordingly!

New Campus = New Traffic Patterns (Further Details Below)

With the new building comes a fresh set of traffic routes for student drop-off, pick-up, and parking. These routes are designed to be efficient, safe, and streamlined from Day One, but that only works with your support! Please review the traffic map ahead of time and follow all posted signage and staff directions. Your partnership in keeping everyone safe and moving smoothly is greatly appreciated!

We’re getting excited for an incredible 2025–2026 school year and can’t wait to see you soon. Until then—stay cool, stay safe, and as always… Go Wildcats!

We are thrilled to invite you to our Open House on Monday, August 4, 2025 — a first look at our beautiful new facility built with students in mind! To ensure every family has time to explore, ask questions, and enjoy the experience with ease, we've organized a staggered schedule by grade level:

• 12th Grade: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM

• 11th Grade: 3:15 PM – 4:15 PM

• 10th Grade: 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM

These times are intentionally staggered to give each family group the best opportunity to park comfortably, tour our campus, and interact with staff. We kindly ask that you visit during your student’s scheduled time to help us provide a smooth, welcoming experience for all. We can't wait to open our doors and welcome you into this next chapter at RHHS — see you soon at 500 Wildcat Blvd!

Our hours for the 2025–2026 school year will remain consistent as in previous years, the biggest change for this year is the location – 500 Wildcat BLVD. Richmond Hill, GA 31324

Please see the information below:

• School Opens: 7:00am

Please keep in mind that students are considered tardy if they are not in their respective class when the tardy bell rings.

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to an amazing school year ahead!

Important Traffic Information for Pick-Up and Drop-Off at RHHS

To ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient arrival and dismissal process at the new Richmond Hill High School campus, all student and parent vehicles must enter and exit through the Main Entrance on Belfast Keller Road, near the Spring Sports Complex.

Here’s What to Know:

• This is the only access point for student drop-off and pick-up.

• Once on campus, you’ll follow the designated route (highlighted in blue on the map) to loop through and drop off or pick up your student safely.

• After drop-off or pick-up, you’ll exit using the same route to maintain a one-way flow of traffic.

Why This Route Matters:

• Keeps traffic moving efficiently during busy times.

• Prevents congestion near the Main Building and staff parking areas.

• Prioritizes student safety with clear, organized pathways.

Student Parking Areas are clearly marked along the route (Lots A–F) and are accessible for those who drive themselves.

Thank you for helping us create a safe and smooth experience for everyone as we begin this exciting new chapter at 500 Wildcat Blvd!

Applying for a parking permit is a multi-step process. Please click below for all of the important details!

At the age of 16, Georgia requires that your student receive the booster to the MCV4 vaccine.

If they do not receive the MCV4 booster on or after the age of 16, their immunization record, Certificate of Immunization (Form 3231), will expire.

If you have not already scheduled an appointment for your student to get their vaccines updated, please contact your healthcare provider or the Bryan County Health Department at 912-756-2611 to arrange the MCV4 booster.

Meningococcal disease is a serious bacterial illness that affects the brain and causes shock, coma and death within hours of the first symptoms. Georgia law requires students be vaccinated against this disease.

Please provide an updated copy of the Certificate of Immunization (Form 3231) once the MCV4 booster is completed. This document will become a part of your student’s permanent record once it is received by the RHHS clinic staff.

Contact your healthcare provider or the Bryan County Health Department with any questions related to the MCV4 Booster.
