RISING SUN HIGH UPDATE

Following the retirements of Ms. Hood and Mr. Roberts, Mr. Jack Drew has joined the RSHS Administrative team. Mr. Drew is no stranger to the Rising Sun High School community having served as an Assistant Principal here twice before. Mr. Drew is an experienced and dedicated individual with over 20 years of administrative experience in CCPS. If you are in 10th or 12th grade, Mr. Drew will be your guy. He has worked in every feeder pattern in the county, and we could not be more excited to have him join the team.

9th graders, new students, and their families - put Wednesday, August 26, on your calendar to come visit the school, receive your schedule, visit your classrooms, meet your teachers, and receive your Chromebook & charger (if you have filled out the agreement).

You can get a jumpstart on filling out your child's Chromebook agreement for the 26/27 school year. This agreement must be completed before any student will receive a Chromebook & Charger.

Want to commemorate your senior’s last first day of school? We are inviting senior parents to celebrate their seniors and welcome them back to school for their last first day! Come out Sunday, August 30th starting at 6:00 PM and pick a sidewalk square to chalk for your senior.

Senior students - wake up bright & early on Monday, August 31 to join your class for Senior Sunrise.
