I can't believe how quick this year is flying by! I hope everyone enjoyed the fall(ish) weather and had a relaxing break. This month the counseling department will finish up with senior meetings, start preparing for the 25-26 school year registration, and continue to help our students settle into the year. Again, please don't hesitate to reach out to us, we do our best to answer all your questions or point you in the right direction.

Looking forward.. We will begin course selections for our CURRENT 11th and 10th graders starting in November. Current 8th graders will receive information about high school graduation requirements, endorsements, and course options. There will also be information about early college and PTECH coming out as well!

This is a great intervention for students that are struggling with turning in work and getting assignments completed in class.

If you are wanting your student signed up for this, reach out to their teacher.

Thursdays from 3:45-5:45 in the library

Every year the RCISD Education Foundation honors a select group of RCHS Seniors who have met criteria based on achievements in academics, extra-curricular activities, service to community and leadership. In return, these students choose an influential education to honor from their time in RCISD. Both will be honored at a banquet. This is such an awesome opportunity, please look at the information below.
