Friday Night Lights will be an extra special red, white and blue celebration for Military Appreciation on Friday, September 4th. It will be a hot one so the game won't start until 8 p.m. All veterans and active military will get in free so make sure to tell the ticket takers if you've served.

Mr. Powell’s Biomedical Science students were recently called to a mock crime scene at the Musgrove Aquatic Center. They will spend three days investigating and processing the death. They will be photographing, sketching, and collecting evidence from the scene. A special thank you to SRO Brad Ameter and Retired Illinois State Police investigator Dwayne Morris for their help on the case.

Mrs. Kerr's FCS Foods I class made delicious mini pizzas in class.

RCHS PE students participated in a Volleyball Tournament to start off the year. Some teams came out ahead but everyone had a great time.

Thank you to our district principals: Mrs. Kinkade at RCELC, Mrs. Fox at RCES, Mrs. Tedford at RCMS, and Mrs. Hart at St. Joe, for providing guided building tours for our Intro to Teaching students!

The visits gave students a valuable behind-the-scenes look at each school and provided a wonderful opportunity to prepare for their upcoming placements. We appreciate your time, hospitality, and support of our future educators!

RCHS Class of 2027 enjoyed watching the sun rise on their last year at RCHS this morning. Students enjoyed breakfast, signed their senior poster, and wrote letters to themselves that they will receive back at Senior Sunset. Here’s to a senior year filled with unforgettable memories, meaningful moments, and a bright future ahead!

Richland County Law Enforcement Training will be held on Tuesday, August 4th at RCHS from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be several police and response vehicles in the area for the training. The RCHS main office and Student Services office will be closed for the day. Students, parents, staff, and community members are asked to keep the area clear for training purposes.

RCHS students MUST be registered before picking up their Chromebook or Parking Permit next week. Chromebooks can be picked up on the lower level of the Commons (outside Ron Herrin/RCPAC). If you have students of different ages, these can be picked up together. They can only be picked up by the student, parent/guardian, or sibling.
Parking Permits will be available in the Main Office. We will have a tablet available for you to fill out with your vehicle information, and payment is required at the time of purchase for students 16+ only. Parking permits are first-come, first-served.

Pickup hours for both are ONLY 9 a.m.- 12 p.m. on the following days:
Seniors: Wednesday, August 5th
Juniors: Thursday, August 6th
Sophomores: Friday, August 7th

Wednesday, August 12th, is the first day back to school for students for the 26-27 school year. RCHS will host our "Back to School Night" the night before, on Tuesday, August 11th, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Take time to meet the teachers, walk the halls, practice your locker...
