Romeo Restored Presents: The Prom Closet
This event is open to any RHS student who will be attending Prom. If you haven't found that special outfit for prom, look no further! Romeo Restored can help! We have a large selection of dresses, suits, shoes, and accessories! Signup for a private shopping slot - parents are encouraged to attend! You are welcome to sign up with a friend, we have 3 available dressing rooms. More dates/times can be added if needed. Romeo Restored is located off of the main commons at RHS, near the auditorium.
**Note: Names will not appear on the signup, it will only show the slot as filled.
Cum Laude Recognition: Class of 2025 and Beyond
This information has been shared in the past, but we felt this was a good time for another reminder. This year, with the Class of 2024, is the last year of the traditional Romeo "Top 10" as next year we will be transitioning to the "cum laude" method of recognition. At first glance, someone may question a change in tradition, this will actually allow us to recognize MORE students. The new cum laude recognition method is very similar to what we've been doing for years, but we will now recognize ALL students with a 4.0+ GPA (usually 15-20 students per year) with the same pomp and circumstance that only the Top 10 of the past received. This will help ensure students that graduate #11-18ish receive accolades for all their hard work. For more information, please read the Parent Letter - Cum Laude Recognition
