State Champions!!!
Congratulations to our Girls Cross Country Team being named STATE CHAMPIONS! Our lady bulldogs had the largest margin of victory in recent memory (if not ever) at their run on Saturday. Also, a big congratulations to Coach Buslepp for his second state championship in 3 years (and won with both girls and boys teams). Our cross country program is truly exceptional and we are so proud of their hard work and accomplishments.
SAT Prep for Juniors
Please see the 2023-2024 SAT Prep Flyer from the MISD regarding upcoming SAT prep. If interested, you may wish to register early as sessions fill quickly.
Early College
RHS sophomores are invited to apply to the Early College of Macomb. Early College sent information home to all 10th grade families in early November. This is a program for highly motivated students to attend RHS and Macomb Community College during 11th and 12th grades and then attend Macomb their 13th year. Interested students and families should plan on attending one of Early College's information sessions on November 28th at the Macomb Intermediate School District or November 29th at Macomb Community College's South Campus. Information about the program, eligibility requirements, and the application process will be shared at these meetings. Additional information about the Early College of Macomb program can be found on the Early College website and in their brochure. The application is online through the Early College website. The application window is open December 1, 2023-January 12, 2024.
Counselors' Corner
Now that the school year is up an running, we've heard from several junior and seniors parents that thoughts are now focused on college, career, financial aid, and scholarships. Our counselors have developed a wonderful set of resources for our families navigating the 'post high school' world. Please take some time to visit the RHS Counseling Website (also included in the "Links" section below) as there is some concise, and very well organized, information and resources.
Here is some more pertinent 'post high school' information you may find beneficial:
- All RHS families are invited to register for Discover Macomb events at Macomb Community College. These informative events are designed to familiarize families with different programs at MCC
- The application and information for the Stanley Ian Babinski PRIDE Scholarship was emailed to all senior football players. Completed applications are due in the BEI office by Monday, November 13 at 2:30
Reminders
Finkel Force
As I am sure many of you are aware by now, an Indian Hills student, Ryder Finkel, has been diagnosed with a rare form of inoperable brain cancer. There now is a "Finkel Force" shirt being sold by FAMS with the proceeds going to the Finkel family. Our Romeo Lions Club has purchased a t-shirt for every student and staff member at Indian Hills so that everyone can show their support for Ryder and his family. It would be amazing to see other schools in the district wearing these shirts as well. If interested in getting your own "Finkel Force" shirt for you and your family, please visit: https://stores.inksoft.com/finkel_force/shop/home
If you choose to purchase a shirt, RHS will be collaborating with Indian Hills Elementary to schedule a Finkel Force day (or days) to show support of Ryder. We'll share more information as the date nears (and FAMS knows how many shirts they need to make).
RHS Ski Club
Snow will be falling before we know it -- that means it's time to join RHS' Ski & Snowboard Club! Members will ski or ride at Pine Knob from December - February on Fridays from 3 - 10 pm.

Class of 2024
Last Call Before Costs Go Up
Graduation will be here before you know it! Only about half of our Class of 2024 has paid their graduation fee and/or ordered their cap and gown. This is the last call before costs go up. If you’re unsure if you/your child has paid, please contact Mrs. Schornack (sara.schornack@romeok12.org) to check.
Link to pay graduation fee - This fee provides the student with 2 tickets for the graduation ceremony and helps to pay for graduation itself. This will also let us know how your name should appear on your diploma. Students that don’t pay this will not receive any graduation tickets nor be able to purchase additional tickets
Link to cap and gown payment - Josten’s will be here Monday, October 23rd during lunch to collect orders or for any additional questions.
