It is a wonderful Wednesday at RCHS! FYI--the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks is now available, so it is officially fall, y'all.
Here are today's announcements:
*Student drivers, all parking rules and agreement forms must be turned in by Friday. You will give those to Mr. Steve McKinney at the front desk.
*Student drivers, make sure you enter the school grounds through the gate beside the softball field (across from Quick Care). Also, when exiting at the end of the day, you must turn right and head toward the stoplight.
*RockIT will be here during lunch to help students who are experiencing difficulties with their Chromebooks.
*Registration for Saturday ACT and/or SAT exams is open. Remember, there is a fee of up to $72 for the Saturday ACT and $68 for the Saturday SAT. Juniors and seniors can take the ACT using a fee waiver; some students may qualify for a reduced SAT cost by applying for a waiver.
We are on our regular schedule today.
We have several announcements today:
*The only time of day students can walk through the "forbidden" hallway is on the way to lunch when supervised by your teacher.
*ACT registration is open for the October 18th exam. Some seating is available for Sunday, October 19th. Juniors and seniors can use up to two waivers per year to cover the cost of a weekend exam. Freshmen and sophomores can test on a weekend date, but the fee must be paid via credit/debit card when completing registration. See Ms. Susan Norton-Casey in Room 030 for more information or assistance.
*All students are to follow their current schedule unless told otherwise by the counselors. If you have a change, the counselors will call you down or email you directly.
Classes are very full, so some changes may not be possible.
*Students who need bus passes should see Mr. Steve at the front desk as soon as possible. No passes are made after 2:30. You must have a note from a parent with the parents' phone number and the bus number.
*Teachers, if you have any student IDs for students not in your homeroom, send those to the office. Also, if you have students who have not received their Chromebook, please reply to Mr. Brandon's email with their names.
Have a great day!
Welcome to the first day of the 2025-2026 school year!
Lighthouse Team members (pictured below) welcomed students into the building and helped everyone get to a smooth start. Thank you to these students and their advisors!
Announcements:
*We are following an adjusted schedule today.

Front doors open for students at 7:15 with the first bell (to leave the lobby, go upstairs, get breakfast) rings at 7:40. After the first bell, students can grab breakfast (SAUSAGE BISCUIT) and head to homeroom. If you are unsure of who your homeroom teacher is or where they are located, we will have staff available to help you find your way. Lighthouse leaders (look for black t-shirts!) will also be available throughout the day. .
In homeroom, you will receive a new schedule that reflects any changes. Follow that schedule, even if you think/know your schedule will be changing.
If you have a schedule change request do not go to the counselors' office. Your homeroom teacher will share the process for any change requests with you.
We will see you tomorrow!
Seniors Susanne Mullins, Julissa Alcorn, Adrianna Nottingham, and Jasmine Schooley were some of the students who attended the free opportunity.
Mrs. Camel does plan on offering a similar opportunity later in the school year!
Thank you, Mrs. Camel, for providing your time and the materials!
If a student was unable to attend on Thursday, they will receive their schedule, Chromebook, and other materials on Monday.
Rockets, we cannot wait to get started with the 2025-2026 school year, and we will see you on Monday!!
Any student taking an online dual credit course needs to pick up their Chromebook. The front office at the high school is open today.
We will have shedule and Chromebook pick-up; barber hair cuts arranged by JROTC (students can go to Youth Services); parking passes for eligible students; ACT/SAT weekend testing information & registration opportunities, and so much more!
Teachers & staff will be on hand to answer any questions.
Doors are open 3:00-6:00. See you tonight!!!
Today was a great day to be a Rocket! Our 9th graders are ready for Monday!
We were able to take a few photos from the morning, but there was so much happening, we couldn't capture it all.
A huge thank you to our Lighthouse Team members and teacher leads Mrs. Shanlee Childress and Mrs. Morgan Taylor!
