Big changes are coming to the ACT in April. Students who test online in April, June, and July will find an exam with fewer questions and an optional science section. Until September, these changes can only be found on the digital ACT on national test dates.
Registration for the April test is open now!
Our announcements for today are below! Also, make sure to read the flyer for Mental Health Awareness Week!
Students, you still have some time to get in work from the first semester. See more information below....Take advantage of the extra days and communicate with your teachers!
RCHS Parents & Students:
Today is the final day of the first semester. These semester grades are FINAL and will be placed on transcripts for 1/2 credit.
Students, you have until Thursday, January 23, to complete NTI and/or missing work. After school tutoring will be offered on Thursday, and work can be submitted until the end of tutoring at 4:45. No work will be accepted past 4:45 PM on Thursday.
A grade of F will earn 0 credit and will require retaking that portion of the course over.
Do not wait. Check IC. Talk to your teachers. Let's finish this semester strong!
Any sophomore, junior, or senior can sign-up now to take the ASVAB! The ASVAB is a free exam administered by military personnel, but it is far more than just a test for those considering a career in the military. See the graphic below for more information. Sign-up deadline is Wednesday, January 22.
Dual Credit Students:
Courses through SCC begin on Monday!! See the graphic below for important information.
On Friday, we celebrated our first Fun Friday of the year--we broke out the holiday music, Christmastime trivia, and tables laden with prizes for students. Special thanks to our RCHS teachers who donated items for the day. Also, thank you to Rockcastle County Community Schools Parent Group members who donated prizes and their time to visit us on Friday!
Below are pictures of just a few of our students.
