We are thrilled to share some wonderful news from Richland County High School! Our students and staff truly embraced the Student Council's Spirit of Giving Week in a big way. Thanks to their generosity, RCHS donated 87 articles of clothing to our RCHS Guidance Department and the SRO Sweatshirt/Coat Drive, helping keep our students warm this winter. In addition, 180 pairs of brand-new socks were donated to the Richland County Fall Kids Mall to support even more children in our community. We are so proud of our school family for stepping up and spreading kindness where it’s needed most.

SRO Ameter teaches "Stop the Bleed" in Driver's Ed today. He was representing his "favorite" football team's apparel because of a bet with Owen Cycholl.

Help us spread kindness during Spirit of Giving Week at RCHS! Check out the flyer for details, and please consider donating to support our local students and families. Items can be sent with any RCHS Student or dropped off in front of the Main Office. Thank you for your generosity!

The Emergency Lockdown at the Richland County High School today was intended for a team assist for a medical emergency. The High School is safe, and the medical emergency was attended to.

Retired Sgt. Dewayne Morris of the Illinois State Police presented to the Biomedical Science classes yesterday. Students were tasked with using deductive reasoning to solve an actual crime scene Morris investigated almost two decades ago. Morris explained his role as a Crime Scene Investigator and encouraged students to always look for the unexpected.
