February Spotlight

WELCOME to the FAME Academy Spotlight newsletter! Each month we will feature RRHS FAME Academy teachers/students, their work, their accomplishments, and their goals! We will also share information about FAME events and other Academy announcements!

Academy Application

ALL students (incoming and current) who want to be a member of the FAME academy need to complete this application! Student applications will be reviewed and acceptance letters will go out before the end of this school year. New this year, after receiving your acceptance, students will have the opportunity to submit examples of work in order to be considered for course placement. Students new to the arts can start at level 1, but we know a lot of students come to us with a lot of school and outside experience. This is a way to be placed in classes with students more aligned to your level and have the opportunity to advanced!
