High School

🇺🇸 We are incredibly grateful to the Army National Guard for bringing a Blackhawk helicopter to the High School for students to see up close and learn from. It was an amazing opportunity for our students to ask questions and gain insight into aviation and military service. 🇺🇸

A special thank you to pilot Daniel Steigerwald, a 2016 Rose Hill graduate, for taking the time to connect with our students and represent our community so well. We appreciate the commitment and service of the Army National Guard in keeping our communities safe every day.

For safety and security reasons, this visit was not released district-wide. We hope to partner again in the future to provide more opportunities like this for our students.

🚀 Rockets, we need your assistance! 🚀

Our brand new wrestling mats for the new wrestling room have arrived and they are laid out in the high school Auxiliary Gym. They need to "cure" for a total of 14 days. During this time, they will shrink to their intended size and get to the correct firmness. The mats come covered in a white protectant powder that has a strong smell. We are ventilating the gym and circulating fresh air to help with the process.

We need your help...please stay off the mats!

There is ample space around the outside of the mats for people to walk. These are brand new and very nice and we want to make sure they get cured in the correct manner.

After 14 days, they will be cleaned and rolled back up until the new wrestling room is finished.

THANK YOU for helping us with this process...our school and district appreciates everyone's help!

We are SO excited for our new facilities to be finished and be put to use by our students!

Voting closes TODAY, March 3

The High School library will one again have a March-Madness style bracket with books as the "teams." Everyone will get a chance to vote on the different rounds of the tournaments. There will also be some special activities and prizes during the tournament.

To get this all started, though, I need your help determining what books to put in the bracket. These can be books you've read and liked, books you've heard a lot about, or even books you love to hate. Please keep in mind that I'll only be including books that are already in the HS library.

Please list the books you would like to see put into the bracket. List as many books as you like.
