Here's a great #FlashBackFriday photo: Back in 1921 when the school was nearing completion, this young man stops to rest on blocks at the construction site. Many stopped by the site to marvel at the construction of this castle in our small town. Sam Patterson's vision was indeed a vision to behold when traveling down the dusty dirt path of Hamilton Street.
The young man is Joseph Floyd Searcy Sr., the father of Joe Searcy who later taught, coached, and served as administrator in the district. Joseph's great grandson attends RRHS and is a member of the Class of 2025. #RRGSDProud #RRHSTurns100
Alert: RRHS received what we believe to be a copycat type threat similar to what schools have dealt with across NC and Virginia.
This kind of viral response is typical from students after media reports on a threat.
RRGSD takes these matters very seriously and we investigate every report and rumor thoroughly. Therefore, we will have additional officers on our campuses today.
We stress that families speak with their students about the consequences of making these types of statements, whether they are speaking with other students or making comments on social media.
Anyone found responsible for making a threat such as this could face criminal charges. #TogetherWeSucceed
