Ivy Tech Community College Graduation
We are happily celebrating these amazing seniors after witnessing them walk across the Ivy Tech stage who have achieved the Indiana College Core (and Associate's degree- keep reading!). They are setting themselves for success no matter what they do after high school. We also have our FIRST RCHS student who is graduating with an Associate's Degree!! Cate Neuman is graduating high school with an Associate's Degree in General Studies. This will allow her to knock out numerous General Ed courses in her college career. What an accomplishment to all students!
Awards Day 2025-26
At the conclusion of another successful school year, Rushville Consolidated High School celebrated the accomplishments of its students during the 2025-26 Awards Day ceremony. The event recognized excellence in academics, leadership, service, athletics, career preparation, and community involvement while highlighting the dedication and perseverance of students throughout the year.
Students from all grade levels were honored for their hard work both inside and outside the classroom. Scholarships, departmental awards, academic honors, and special recognitions were presented by teachers, administrators, community organizations, and local scholarship partners. The ceremony served as a reflection of the school’s commitment to preparing students for success in college, careers, and life beyond high school!
2025-26 FFA Banquet
The Annual FFA Banquet was this past Saturday, May 9th! The students did such a great job! Mr. Cook and Mrs. Meek received honorary FFA Degrees and Katy Anderson received the Community Award. FFA and RCHS Alumni, Jenna Lawler, was also back at her stomping grounds and gave such a touching speech. What a phenomenal night recognizing all of the members and as you know, There's No Place Like Rushville FFA!
