ROCKLAND HIGH WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
October 10, 2025
PSAT and School-Day SAT testing went smoothly on Wednesday, with the entire junior class and about 40 sophomores taking the PSAT, while many seniors completed the SAT.
On Thursday, we held our first regular Dog Block, offering a wide range of activities for students, including friendship bracelets, crafts, Disney trivia, slam poetry, creative writing, weightlifting, walking, open gym, bingo, open music, Muay Thai, open art studio, Bulldog Nation, community service, science fiction/fantasy, and Vision of the Graduate help. Several clubs—including SGC, the Travel Club, and DECA—also met during this time.
Dog Block provides time and space for students and staff to connect, build relationships, and pursue interests. This month’s community service group visited Phelps Elementary, where high school students read The Way I Feel to first graders - each of whom received their own copy of the book thanks to the Brockton Area Prevention Collaborative. It was a wonderful learning experience for both groups!
Our next Dog Block will be held on November 20. Stay tuned for upcoming offerings!
STUDENT SHOUT OUT
Huge shout out to seniors Mackenzie Fulton and Molly McCrorey who participated in the Dana Farber walk this past Sunday. They walked an impressive 28 miles and they raised over $700 in doing so. We are so proud of them!
STUDENT GOVERNMENT COUNCIL
Homecoming Dance Reminders:
The Homecoming Dance will be held on Saturday, October 18th from 7pm - 9pm. You are only allowed to attend if you purchased a ticket beforehand, tickets will not be sold at the door.
Reminder that you can only bring a guest if your guest form was turned in and approved. Guests need to bring a valid high school ID to enter the dance.
Students may not leave the dance until 8:30pm, after the Homecoming Court has been announced.
Breast Cancer Awareness:
The Rockland High School Student Council raised funds for Breast Cancer Awareness. Through t-shirt sales, raffles, and donations, we were able to raise a total of $1,697 which will go towards Making Strides Boston. We would like to give a big shout out to the girls volleyball team, who helped raise $470 on their Dig Pink game this past Wednesday. Thank you to everyone for your support and generous donations for a great cause!
Project Pumpkin:
On Saturday, October 25th, we will be hosting our annual Project Pumpkin event at the high school which will be open to the public. Kids can come to trick or treat around the high school and check out a variety of activities for Halloween!
We are looking for student volunteers to hand out candy, scare in the Haunted Hallway, as well as monitor our Kid Zone in the gym. Volunteers will earn 5 hours of community service. You can sign up and fill out a form during all 3 lunches until Friday, 10/17.
STUFF A CRUISER
It’s been a busy and exciting start to October—from a smooth PSAT/SAT testing day to our first full Dog Block filled with creativity and connection.
Next week brings one of our favorite RHS traditions: Homecoming Week! Let’s show our Bulldog pride during Spirit Week, the rally, the big game, and the dance.
We’re also looking ahead to Project Pumpkin, 8th Grade Open House, and the Stuff a Cruiser event. These are all great opportunities to celebrate our students and community.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Enjoy the long weekend, and Go Bulldogs!
