🎳✨ Rewarding Commitment & Dedication!

Last week, 107 Rockcastle County High School students were rewarded for their outstanding dedication to attendance with a fun-filled trip! From bowling to games and great food, it was a well-earned celebration of their commitment to being present and giving their best each day.

A huge thank you to Galaxy Bowling of Richmond for hosting our Rockets! 🚀

RCMS 8th graders toured RCHS today and spent time learning more about our CTE pathways and the classes offered at RCHS. Tours were led by our Lighthouse Leaders.

The Alive @25 class scheduled for this evening at RCHS will take place at its posted time of 4-8.

Congratulations to Coach Chrysti Noble on being named a 2026 Inductee to the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame! For thirty six years, she has led the Lady Rockets, and she has been a positive force and role model for hundreds of girls in Rockcastle County. This honor is well-deserved!!

RCHS Juniors began SAT testing today, and testing will continue for all juniors over the next several days. Those students who miss their regularly scheduled testing date will be given a make-up opportunity; however, that date has not yet been set. As soon as we set that date, we will share it with students.

Seniors & Senior Parents:
Tomorrow (Friday) is the deadline for your Kings Island deposit. The total cost is $60, which includes your ticket as well as a meal/drink band (meals every 90 minutes, drinks every 15).
The non-refundable deposit is $15. The balance is due April 24.

We are doing easy fundraising! Bring in a box of snack cakes, popsicles, and/or chips to be sold. We are also selling coupons for a car wash.

Please do not let cost keep you from participating. If cost is an issue, please see Mr. Adams, Mrs. Johnson, or Mrs. Smith.

Several students interested in dual credit have been asking about the next available ACT. Though we are unable to offer the ACT on a school day, it is available in April on Saturday, April 11, OR Sunday, April 12--students choose.
Registration must be made through a student account on MyACT.org. Students, please come by Room 030 during homeroom on Monday if you have questions or would like help making a MyACT account. Ms. Susan can also walk you through the registration process. However, because the exam requires payment, she cannot register you for the exam.

AP Biology is just one of the three AP science courses we offer at RCHS! This elective course is an excellent choice for highly motivated students who are interested in science and wanting a challenge, as well as students seriously considering a science-related major!
It does have two prerequisites: Pre-AP Biology and chemistry.
This course is taught by Mrs. Stevens.

Keep following us to learn more about the variety of AP courses offered at RCHS!!!

Social studies teachers Mrs. Holly Robinson and Mr. Sam Smith led students through a blended learning lesson focused on the challenges children faced during the Industrial Revolution. The two-day lesson included a rotation through five stations and incorporated a 3-D printed sculpture from released #D files from the Smithsonian Institute and printed by Mr. Travis Brenda's 3-D print class.
They were asked to explain and describe specific challenges children faced, how the children felt about the work they were doing, and how the children felt about school compared to work. In addition to analyzing data charts and tables about child labor over time, learners also engaged with a song connected to the life of a child worker during the Industrial Revolution, historical images, and other primary resources.
Students were excited about this blended learning activity!

We are celebrating FRYSC Week and want to recognize Mrs. Melinda Osborne and Mrs. Barbara Mullins! Mrs. Melinda and Mrs. Barb work daily to support our students and their families. They are often working behind the scenes, so it isn't always to get a picture of them in action, but it is easy to get pictures of just some of the many students and staff whose lives they touch.
Thank you, Mrs. Melinda & Mrs. Barb, for every kind word and action to support our students. And thank you for the cupcakes.
