Kaylee Do was nominated by her counselor, Mr. Roach. "I am thrilled to nominate Kaylee Do as my selection for Senior of the Week. Kaylee is a phenomenal student and incredible leader on our campus. Although she has only been on my caseload this year, I have seen her on campus throughout high school and have seen just how connected she is. She has been actively involved in our AVID program for the past three years, serves as the AVID Club Co-President, and is a Varsity Cheer Captain this year. Kaylee is the true definition of what it means to be a Rowland Raider. She has a great work ethic and is always willing to help support her peers in need. I'm extremely proud of all that she has accomplished, and I know that she has an incredible future ahead of her. Congratulations, Kaylee, keep up the great work!"

Lauryn Miller was nominated by her soccer coach, Coach Allen. "Lauryn has not only dominated on the field, but her academic discipline, quality leadership, and benevolent personality are something worth recognizing. Lauryn encourages and supports her teammates, which makes her a valuable captain."

Gabby was nominated by Mr. Harris. "Gabby has been one of the backbones of the theater program for the past 3 years. She is passionate and dedicated to ensuring the success of every Theater production. She is also one of the most accountable students on the RHS campus. The Theater department is very lucky to have a student like Gabby!"

Albert was nominated by his Computer Science advisor, Mr. Kim. "Albert has been actively involved in the Computer Science club's numerous competitions. He has researched international competitions that our students can join. In addition, he has been working closely with the officers to find resources to help our competitors prepare. Additionally, he has gone above and beyond to learn college-level algorithms to solve problems. For his dedication and team spirit, I nominate him as Innovator of the Week".

In December, Mr. Falk's IB juniors brought one of the Bard's most famous plays to life by performing Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Macbeth. Each scene was performed live, and students wore costumes of their own design, brought props, and memorized lines. This exciting project acted as the culmination to a five-week unit spent reading, analyzing, and writing about one of the most iconic tragedies ever written in the English language and allowed students to showcase their understanding in an active and creative format worthy of Shakespeare's approval.
