Our RRHS students in the Law & Justice I program are getting great exposure to potential careers in law enforcement related fields. This month they’ve have been studying laws of arrest, search, & seizure and working on technical skills attainment with handcuffing procedures. Next week they will be tested on these skills through a practical examination. Later this semester they will continue to build on these skills with mock traffic stops, DWI awareness, and crime scene investigations. #TogetherWeSucceed #CTEPrograms

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
