RHHS Wildcats News You Can Use

The second semester is officially in full swing, and there is a lot of exciting momentum across campus as we conclude January and welcome February. Our winter sports teams are nearing the end of their regular seasons, with several preparing for postseason and state-level competition. Spring sports are finalizing rosters and beginning practices, Fine Arts students are rehearsing daily for upcoming performances and state competitions, and our clubs and CTSOs continue to offer meaningful opportunities for students to get involved before, during, and after school. There is truly something happening for everyone.

As we move into the week ahead, we are especially excited about upcoming advisement sessions. During advisement, students will begin registering for classes for the 2026–2027 school year. This is a key moment for students and families to work together to review course options that align with students’ strengths, interests, and future goals, including postsecondary plans. These course selections also allow us to plan staffing and resources to best support students next year, so thoughtful choices matter.

We encourage parents to talk with their student about course options, ensure they know how to log in to PowerSchool, and review the registration information that has been shared. We would also love to welcome you to Academics and Pathways Night on Monday, February 2, 2026, where you can learn more and ask questions about academic programs and opportunities.

With us now entering the fourth week of the semester, this is an important time to check in on your child’s academic progress. Please take a moment to review grades, attendance, and overall engagement. Starting strong now helps students avoid playing catch-up later in the semester. Our teachers are working hard to support students and ensure assignments are completed, and your partnership at home makes a tremendous difference. When school and families work together, our students are best positioned for success.

I encourage you to take your time reading this entire newsletter and reach out with any questions or clarifications. We are always here to support you. For the Class of 2026, the time is now. This spring, we will graduate the largest class in Richmond Hill High School history at 500 Wildcat Blvd., and I am already looking forward to celebrating that milestone with our students and families in May.

See ya, love ya, bye!

Car-rider/parent drop-off information - Click Here

• If you are dropping off a car rider, please stay in the right lane and keep the left lane open when entering the round-a-bout for our student drivers.
• When dropping your child off in the morning and when picking them up in the afternoon, we kindly ask that you pull all the way down to the sidewalk right before the student parking lot B entry and ensure that your child is ready to unload as soon as you stop. This will allow for us to clear Belfast Keller and keep traffic rolling. Is it further than curbside drop-off? Yes. Is it going to allow for more cars to drop off at once? Yes. Is it a safe alternative? Absolutely. We appreciate you working with us so we can clear the car line in a timely fashion.
• If I arrive with my child prior to the 7am opening of school can they disembark from the car? Yes. We would appreciate you going ahead and letting them out. They are welcome to wait outside in the front of the school or step into the air conditioned foyer of the building prior to all-staff arrival.
