RHHS Wildcats News You Can Use

Happy MonYAY, Wildcats!

The final week of our first semester together at 500 Wildcat Blvd. is officially here, and pausing to reflect on how far our school community has come feels nothing short of remarkable. Moving from 1 Wildcat Drive to 500 Wildcat Blvd. came with its share of growing pains, but as the saying goes, nothing worthwhile comes easy. This move has proven to be worth every step. Our new space has opened doors to enhanced facilities, expanded opportunities, and greater access to truly #BTH, all while hosting student-centered performances, events, and experiences that invite the greater Richmond Hill community into #ouRHouse.

As the semester winds down, students are navigating final exams, cumulative projects, and important deadlines. On the other side of that finish line is a fresh beginning. Second semester begins Tuesday, January 6, 2026. Students and parents are encouraged to take a moment to review second semester schedules to ensure everything is accurate and complete as we roll confidently into the new year together.

A few important highlights in this newsletter include:

• If you are moving, please notify us by contacting kwhitley@bryan.k12.ga.us

• Opportunities to engage in student life including Young Georgia Authors, Academics and Pathways Night, college tours, the HOSA 5K, Library Lowdown, yearbook ordering, and Fine Arts features, just to name a few

As you step away from RHHS for the next couple of weeks, we hope you find time to rest, recharge, and reset for a strong start to 2026. If you are not already plugged in, this is a great time to explore an athletic team, club, or fine arts opportunity that sparks your interest. Remember, connectivity creates opportunity and opportunity open doors! Links to all extracurricular opportunities can be found below.

May this Christmas and holiday season be merry and filled with joy. We look forward to welcoming each and every Wildcat back as we officially kick off second semester on January 6, 2026.

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.
