Students in AP precalculus used paper plates and Twizzlers to make meaningful connections with the radius of a circle and angle measurements in radians.

AP US history classes recently used Play-Doh as a hands-on sensory activity to demonstrate their knowledge of the Gilded Age. Students chose to work in groups to recreate an event or demonstrate a theme of the Gilded Age time period.

There is money earmarked specifically for RHS students. This is a rare opportunity for students to grow and gain experience for college and beyond.

Planning for college is an exciting journey, but figuring out how to pay for it can feel overwhelming. Financial Aid Awareness month is a time to learn about the many resources available to help make college more affordable!

Why is Financial Aid Important❓

Financial aid can help cover tuition, books, and other college expenses through:

✅ Grants – Free money you don’t have to pay back (like the Pell Grant and Cal Grant)

✅ Scholarships – Awarded based on achievements, interests, or financial need
✅ Work-Study Programs – Part-time jobs to help pay for college
✅ Student Loans – Borrowed money that must be repaid after graduation

Check back next week as we continue to share valuable information and resources for Financial Aid Awareness Month!
