Class of 2026 - Important Senior Dates!

Last semester, RRHS was touched by the tragic death of one of our students. A young man was hit by a car while walking home with his girlfriend after school. The first responders who arrived on scene were kind and thoughtful, while diligently doing their jobs to secure the scene.

For this year’s impact project, the 2025-2026 Chick-fil-A Leader Academy has decided to host a “Heroes without Capes” luncheon to offer their gratitude to the first responders in our area. Scheduled for April 4, members will honor all EMS, Fire & Rescue, and police officers in the community!

Recently, Brody Griffies Welding and Heavy Equipment classes took a field trip to West Fraser. This field trip was a great opportunity for all of his students that attended. They were able to see real world examples of how heavy equipment and maintenance is used and performed in a mill setting and in the woods. We would like to thank Ted Gardner and the West Fraser mill for setting this up and letting us tour the mill. Also, thanks to Williams Logging for letting students run his equipment. We hope to set up more opportunities like this in the future!
