It is a K-12 art show, but all of our high school work is on display in the main gallery downstairs and the entire show and venue is beautiful. About 100 of our RHS students have work on display.

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
