We are thrilled to welcome you (Students & Parents) to Richmond Hill High School’s Open House on Monday, August 4th, from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m., hosted at our new home at 500 Wildcat Boulevard. Throughout the day, families will have the opportunity to explore our incredible new campus during designated times, beginning with our seniors, followed by our juniors, sophomores, and finally our freshman class.

• 12th Grade: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM

• 11th Grade: 3:15 PM – 4:15 PM

• 10th Grade: 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM

• 9th Grade: 5:45 PM – 7:00 PM

These times are intentionally staggered to give each family group the best opportunity to park comfortably, tour our campus, and interact with staff. We kindly ask that you visit during your student’s scheduled time to help us provide a smooth, welcoming experience for all. We can't wait to open our doors and welcome you into this next chapter at RHHS — see you soon at 500 Wildcat Blvd!

This is more than just a walk-through or a meet & greet—it’s a celebration. A celebration of the amazing opportunities that await our students and staff alike. From state-of-the-art learning spaces, inspiring fine arts facilities, expanded CTAE pathways, and enhanced athletic venues, every corner of this campus was designed for students and with the future in mind.

While our classrooms and corridors are ready to welcome students with open arms, you may notice that some of the aesthetic enhancements around campus—particularly the landscaping—are still a work in progress. The finishing touches are on the horizon, and in true South Georgia fashion, the sun and high levels of recent rain are giving us both the warmth, wetness and the challenge to bring it all to life. Please know that in the coming weeks, these outdoor spaces will fully bloom, completing what we know will be a campus masterpiece—one that reflects the pride, spirit, and excellence of the Wildcat community. We invite you to join us in celebrating this exciting new chapter. This facility isn’t just a building—it’s a symbol of what’s possible for our students. It’s a launchpad for accelerated academic performance, dynamic extracurricular engagement, and a daily reminder of our mission to lead, serve, and love every child who walks through our doors of 500 Wildcat Blvd.

We can’t wait to see you and officially kick off an incredible year at RHHS. Welcome home, Wildcats!

Our hours for the 2025–2026 school year will remain consistent as in previous years, the biggest change for this year is the location – 500 Wildcat BLVD. Richmond Hill, GA 31324

Important Traffic Information for Pick-Up and Drop-Off at RHHS

To ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient arrival and dismissal process at the new Richmond Hill High School campus, all student and parent vehicles must enter and exit through the Main Entrance on Belfast Keller Road, near the Spring Sports Complex.

Here’s What to Know:

• This is the only access point for student drop-off and pick-up.

• Once on campus, you’ll follow the designated route (highlighted in blue on the map) to loop through and drop off or pick up your student safely.

• After drop-off or pick-up, you’ll exit using the same route to maintain a one-way flow of traffic.

Why This Route Matters:

• Keeps traffic moving efficiently during busy times.

• Prevents congestion near the Main Building and staff parking areas.

• Prioritizes student safety with clear, organized pathways.

Student Parking Areas are clearly marked along the route (Lots A–F) and are accessible for those who drive themselves.

Thank you for helping us create a safe and smooth experience for everyone as we begin this exciting new chapter at 500 Wildcat Blvd!

Applying for a parking permit is a multi-step process. Please click below for all of the important details!

At Richmond Hill High School, we believe that learning extends far beyond the walls of a classroom. With the launch of a new school year and the excitement of a brand-new building on the horizon, now is the perfect time for students to explore something new, build connections, and ignite their passions through our vibrant extracurricular offerings!

From championship athletics and award-winning fine arts programs to leadership-focused CTSO organizations, purpose-driven clubs, and community-centered service groups, RHHS has something for every Wildcat. Whether you're interested in robotics, chorus, student government, football, HOSA, eSports, lacrosse, drama and many more—your future teammates, mentors, and memories are waiting.

Research continues to show that students who are involved in extracurricular activities are more likely to succeed academically. Why? Because engagement builds time management skills, fosters a sense of belonging, strengthens relationships with teachers and peers, and cultivates the confidence students need to excel—both in the classroom and in life.

As we begin this exciting chapter, we challenge every student to say YES to at least one new opportunity this year. Try out for the team. Join the club. Take the stage. Compete. Lead. Create. Serve. Explore. Engage.

This is more than school, it’s your launch pad. So go ahead—get involved and make this year unforgettable.

At the age of 16, Georgia requires that your student receive the booster to the MCV4 vaccine.

If they do not receive the MCV4 booster on or after the age of 16, their immunization record, Certificate of Immunization (Form 3231), will expire.

If you have not already scheduled an appointment for your student to get their vaccines updated, please contact your healthcare provider or the Bryan County Health Department at 912-756-2611 to arrange the MCV4 booster.

Meningococcal disease is a serious bacterial illness that affects the brain and causes shock, coma and death within hours of the first symptoms. Georgia law requires students be vaccinated against this disease.

Please provide an updated copy of the Certificate of Immunization (Form 3231) once the MCV4 booster is completed. This document will become a part of your student’s permanent record once it is received by the RHHS clinic staff.

Contact your healthcare provider or the Bryan County Health Department with any questions related to the MCV4 Booster.
