I hope everyone gets some rest and relaxation so we can come back and be ready to conquer some more!! This has been a great 10 weeks so far and we have many more great weeks left in our school year. Everyone enjoy reading about this fantastic week and I will be updating everyone again in two weeks!!
LEAVE IT BETTER THAN YOU SEE IT
GREATNESS FROM STAFF AND STUDENTS
NATIONAL AWARS
Rushville Consolidated High School is proud to recognize the 14 students who received a College Board National Recognition Award. These students took the PSAT/NMSQT last fall and scored in the top 10% of test takers from their award program in their state. You will find the students listed in the photos below along with their recognition program. Congratulations!
FARMER SNACK PACKS
The Rushville FFA members delivered 150 snack packs to farmers in Rush County on their day off from school. We are so thankful for our students showing up as their best selves, for the farmers that keep this community going and our incredible sponsors for making this possible!
Competition Cheerleading!!!!
A Note from Coach Sliger!
I am VERY excited to let you know that the Rushville Cheerleading team has qualified for STATE! Our girls have worked extremely hard and we are so proud of them for qualifying their first year competing.
They will compete at the Indiana State Cheer Championship on November 6th at New Castle High School at 10AM to compete for a State Title in the Small Timeout Division.
BREAKFAST
The Seniors did not have to come to school on the morning of our PSAT testing. A group of Seniors decided to have breakfast in the Senior Lot before school!! They were flipping some very tasty pancakes and frying up bacon!! Fun to see these kids enjoying themselves!!

SPECIAL SHOUT OUT
A GIVING HEART
I want to give a special shout out to Bob Hoel and Hoel Roofing!!!! I called Bob a few weeks ago and asked if he knew anybody who may have some tools they could donate to our construction class because many of our small and large tools are outdated and have become hazardous. Bob told me to send him a list and he would take care of it. We talked later that same day and Bob told me it was all taken care of Hoel Roffing was buying everything on the list!! I am not only amazed at the generosity of Bob but the fact he never hesitated and had things taken care of in less than a few hours!! Thank you Bob for all that you do for not only RCHS but for the city of Rushville!!
