The Weekly Update #4

What a great week at RCHS!! Two more weeks until Spring Break! Friday of this week marked the end of the third grading period. Report cards will be available next week. We will be headed into the final stretch of the 2024/2025 school year. We have some very exciting things starting in the 2025/2026 school year with many new opportunities for our students! I will not talk about the Seniors right now because I am just not ready to even think about them leaving. I hope everyone enjoys looking at the greatness that went on this week. The best thing about Friday of course, is IT'S ALMOST MONDAY!!!!! Have a great weekend everyone!

The owners of Mocha Moose Coffee & Antiques and Chocolate Cafe shared their unique journeys to entrepreneurship with students, highlighting their passions and business philosophies. The Mocha Moose owner, a former nurse, created a welcoming space that blends coffee, conversation, and antiques, while the Chocolate Cafe owner, inspired by his travels and love for chocolate, emphasized work-life balance and following one's dreams. Students gained valuable insights into business operations, including financial management, real estate decisions, marketing, and collaboration within the community.

Mr. Doyle’s name is synonymous with excellence, passion, and unwavering dedication at Rushville Consolidated High School. As a longtime leader of the choral department, he has not only shaped voices but also inspired countless students through his commitment to music and education. He has fostered a love for the arts, instilled discipline, and created a sense of family within his choirs. His tireless dedication was recently recognized at the annual Elks Scholarship Dinner, where he was honored for his years of service and the profound influence he has had on the students and community. Generations of students and colleagues celebrate him as a mentor, role model, and a true legend in Rushville.
