A small group of RCS Middle Schoolers stepped up as tour guides this week, welcoming next year’s 6th-grade class from A.W. Becker! These student leaders showed future middle schoolers around the building, answered questions, and shared what life is really like in middle school. It was a great opportunity for our students to lead with pride and help ease the transition for the incoming class.
RCS Middle School held its annual Art Show and Science Fair on Tuesday, May 20. The hallways were transformed into galleries showcasing our students’ stunning artwork, while the library buzzed with science experiments. The RCS Middle School Jazz Ensemble played some hits in the LGR!

🌟 Bravo to the RCS Middle School Drama Club! The stage at RCS High School transformed into a fairytale world as our middle school performers brought Shrek the Musical Jr. to life! With big laughs, memorable songs, and standout performances, the cast and crew delivered a show that was both heartwarming and hilarious. More photos on our Facebook page.
Yesterday, we celebrated our incredible bus drivers and transportation staff. Rain or shine, early mornings and late nights, our RCS Transportation Staff work tirelessly to keep our students safe and get them where they need to go!
Bus drivers do so much more than drive - they connect people. They are some of the first hellos in the morning, the ones who celebrate with congratulatory high-fives after an away game day win, and they provide a listening ear on those hard days. Thank you for all that you do!
RCS staff spent the afternoon focused on professional development, engaging in sessions on restorative practices at the elementary and secondary levels, certification pathways, and curriculum planning. In addition to learning and collaboration, staff enjoyed a fun fitness session with RCS retiree Terry Crawford!
