If you happened to be near RHS towards dismissal time today, Friday, you probably saw a fire truck pull in. We are updating our Fire Alarm system and a false alarm went off. The Fire Department responded to the call per protocol. The truck and personnel were cleared out of the way for a regular dismissal.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Conferences will be held Wednesday, October 16th, 5:00pm-8:00pm and Thursday, October 17th, 3:00pm-6:00pm. More details to come.

Last year, our BEI Academy's cross-curricular project collaborated with Blake's Orchard to create the scrumptious Hometown Apple Cakes. Crafted with care and a dash of school spirit, this delightful treat is a testament to the fruitful partnership between education and Blake’s.

These will be available at Parent Teacher Conferences for $5 and will soon be featured at Blake's.

SANP 2025

The Seniors of Romeo Community High School Class of 2025 will be graduating on Thursday, June 5th, 2025. In Romeo, the tradition has been that the proud parents of the graduates plan the Senior All Night Party. For years, this event has provided the seniors with an opportunity to celebrate with their classmates in a safe, alcohol-free environment, as it may be the last time many of them will see each other together as a group. This year's Senior All Night Party will be held on Sunday, June 1st at the Dave and Buster’s in Utica.

The Senior All Night Party committee is currently selling Class of 2025 Lawn signs for $25. The signs are available for pick up at 26 and Van Dyke. Please email Romeo2025SANP@gmail.com to coordinate a pickup. All proceeds go to the Senior All Night Party.

The Senior All Night Party committee is currently asking for donations for the event. All donations are tax deductible. If you have a business that may be interested in sponsoring or donating gift cards for prizes, please email us at Romeo2025SANP@gmail.com. All donations are greatly appreciated.
