In the state of Georgia, American Literature students are required to take an end-of-course (EOC) test each year that counts for 10% of their final class average. In order to support our students for this assessment, Richmond Hill High School ELA teachers will be hosting American Lit EOC review sessions, which we are referring to as our EOC Bootcamp, consisting of 5 unique sessions leading up to the EOC testing dates of May 6-8.

We invite juniors currently enrolled in American Literature to attend all of the sessions, which are free and designed to provide students with specific practice on tested skills. All materials will be provided for each bootcamp session and will then be shared via Google Classroom, which students and parents will be able to access.

The American Lit EOC Bootcamp schedule is linked in the RSVP form below. Please RSVP by selecting the sessions below that your student will attend.

Applications for next year’s 2024-2025 CURE Crew Teen Council will be open to students starting April 15th – April 30th this year using this link - https://curechildhoodcancer.org/cure-crew/. The application is open to rising Junior & Senior students, and current CURE Crew members do need to re-apply.

The purpose of CURE Crew is to offer high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to support CURE through fundraising, volunteering, advocacy, and awareness of pediatric cancer with the leadership and guidance of CURE’s staff. Students will benefit by earning community service hours by engaging in structured fundraising and service opportunities that will provide them with meaningful life skills and compassion for an underserved population. At the same time, CURE will benefit by having students in the community sharing CURE’s mission and vision.

It is time to begin the student application process for the 2024-2025 One Bryan Student Advisory Council!
