We have finally made it to Spring Break! I have mixed feelings about the school year. In some ways it feels like it has taken some time to get here but in other ways this year has flown by!! This has been an exciting year at RCHS and we have more great things to come. Teachers and students will be hitting that final stretch and finishing up the 2023/2024 year when we return. Our Admin. team has been working hard on organization for next year and putting things in place to hit the ground running in August. New programs and new opportunities for kids are coming. This staff has raised the bar this year and the kids are reaching it. We will continue to challenge kids the rest of this year and then raise the bar even higher next year. Everyone have a safe and relaxing break and we will see you all on MONDAY!!!! But not until April 1st!!!!

ICC Spotlight 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.

Did you know that RCHS students have 17 vocational programs to choose from? Between Whitewater Career Center and RCHS, our students have the opportunity to choose from 17 different programs to help prepare them for their careers. Cosmetology, Automotive Collision Technology, Diesel Technology, Graphic Design, and Health Science are just a few.
