THE AERIE's Vol. 50 yearbook themed as "SPOTLIGHT," bridges the gap between our near 50-year history and the present. With that being said, there are 76 books left! We will NOT be placing an additional order for extra copies. Once the books are sold out, we are officially sold out.

The price is $95, and the book can be purchased online at Balfour.com OR in-person with cash or check (made out to RCHS) brought directly to Mr. Marsh in room 2104 or the Yearbook Room (during 1st period/lunch). The yearbook staff recommends purchasing your book in person, as the Balfour website isn't the easiest place to navigate.

RCHS EMT students were recognized Friday, April 12, 2024, at the Chattanooga State-Dayton Site Advisory Breakfast. Rhea County has the first successful EMT program in the State of TN with students expecting to complete an EMT Certification while finishing their senior year of high school.

Pictured (left to right) are Chattanooga State Dayton Director Jerry Hendrix, Chattanooga State EMT Instructors Tyler and Olivia, RCHS seniors Lexi Stephens, Katelyn Morris, Preston Moore and Diana Castrejon, Chattanooga State Early College Director Lewis Jackson and Chattanooga State Rural Outreach Specialist Kelsey Jones.

Best Buddies Prom was so fun!

These shots were taken by our yearbook adviser Mr. Marsh, who along with several members of the yearbook staff, spent their day off on Good Friday working to complete the yearbook at Drip Kitchen and Coffee. They were extremely thankful for the full day off from school so that they could work to complete the book.
