🚀 Starting tomorrow, we’re launching a brand-new series: Rocket Habit of the Month! 🌟
Each month, we’ll spotlight one of the 7 Habits from the Leader in Me framework — powerful principles that help students build leadership, responsibility, and strong character. These habits connect directly to our Portrait of a Rocket work, guiding learners to lead themselves, collaborate with others, and grow continuously — in school and beyond.
Stay tuned as we explore each habit and highlight the many ways our Rockets put them into action every day! 🚀💙

Yesterday, KDE announced that the spring college admissions exam required for all juniors in Kentucky will be the College Board's SAT. This is a switch from the ACT, which has been given to juniors for several years.
We are excited to say that RCHS already offers both the SAT and the ACT to our students, so the adjustment to a new spring assessment will be a smooth one. Both exams offer our students the chance to showcase their learning through exams that are accepted by colleges and universities in Kentucky and around the country. Both exams are also recognized by scholarship programs and for KEES funds.
The attached graphic provides a brief comparison of the two exams.
Registration is currently open for SAT School Day, PSAT School Day, SAT Saturdays, and ACT Weekends. See Ms. Susan Norton-Casey for more information!
