In anticipation of the December 1, 2024, opening day for the 2025-2026 school year Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), we want to encourage Richmond Hill High School seniors and parents/guardians to create a FAFSA profile, one for the high school senior and one for parents/guardians. Please know that ANY student who wants to be considered for federal, state, and/or school financial aid programs (including grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans) must have a completed FAFSA. The deadlines for scholarships begin in January of 2025, so please do not hesitate.

A step-by-step guide to completing the FAFSA process is linked on the RHHS School Counseling Department website.

Join the Theatre Arts pathway in watching The Neverending Story (Atreyu and the Great Quest) as part of their production unit. During this unit in class, students are assessed with both formative and summative assessments ranging from blocking to performance per our standards. They learn how a full production is put together with lighting design, sound design, costume design, set design, stage managing, acting, and directing.

Told with all the thrills of a classic adventure, the story begins with Bastian, a lonely boy, who stumbles into a curious bookshop where he discovers a curious book—The Neverending Story. Bastian hides in the attic of his school and begins to read, and a huge adventure surges into life. Fantastica, a land of stories, is being destroyed by the Nothing. The Childlike Empress has chosen Atreyu, a young hunter, to be the Hero of the Great Quest. Follow Atreyu and Bastian on their great adventure!
