High School

🚀 Tomorrow is the day for our Juniors to take their ACT! The test starts at 8 AM. Bring yourself and your laptop fully charged! You can do this Rockets! 🚀

🚨 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 – 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 🚨 Prom is tomorrow, and while the forecast no longer calls for rain during arrival time, the temperatures will still be cold and the ground will be soggy. Because of this, we will not be able to follow our traditional outdoor prom arrival routine, as there is no covered shelter available. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰: ✨ Upon arrival, students will hand their keys to valet as usual. ✨ There will not be a traditional red carpet entrance this year. ✨ Students should plan to take all outdoor photos before arriving at the venue. ✨ A photographer will be inside to capture the special night. ✨ Students will still be announced—but this will happen 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 the venue. 𝘜𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺, 𝘥𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴. We know this isn’t quite what we envisioned, and we truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility. Mother Nature may have changed the arrival plans, but the night will still be one to remember! We can’t wait to celebrate with you all tomorrow! 🪩

It may only be Tuesday, but Mrs. Reed's Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, and Zoology students have already had an exciting and interactive week in the classroom! 🟢 Biology students put their population estimation skills to the test by conducting quadrat sampling of dandelions around the school—turning their lessons into real-world data collection. 🩸 Anatomy & Physiology students had a special visit from guest speaker Jasmin, a professional phlebotomist, who shared her expertise on proper blood-drawing techniques. Students even got hands-on experience using our practice arm!🐾 Zoology students focused on animal health and wellness by practicing proper handling techniques while taking the heart and respiratory rates of our resident rats. We love seeing our students apply their knowledge in meaningful ways!

Congratulations Alex for placing 2nd in Humor Interpretation at a recent Forensics Invitational in Derby! 👏 This was a LARGE competition with many Wichita-area schools competing. In case you didn't know, Forensics is competitive speech and acting and Humor Interpretation (or "Humor Interp" - like what Alex placed in) is one of the many events where students perform a funny piece from a book, play, or script—all on their own. In Humor Interp, competitors bring characters to life using voices, facial expressions, and body language to make the audience laugh—all without props or costumes! Imagine acting out an entire comedy scene, switching between characters on the fly, and keeping everyone entertained for 10 minutes straight. It’s like being a one-person sitcom! If you love performing, making people laugh, or just want to boost your confidence and public speaking skills, Forensics is for you! 🎤✨ 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐮𝐩: RHHS Forensics competes at 4A Regionals on April 12! Wish them luck as they take the stage and represent the Rockets! 🚀 Way to go, Alex! You rocked that stage this weekend! 🚀

🗣️ 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐧 – 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥’𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫! March is National Athletic Training Month, and we want to take a moment to recognize James Werbin, Rose Hill High School’s Certified & Licensed Athletic Trainer. James works tirelessly to support every Rose Hill athlete across all sports, ensuring they stay safe and healthy throughout their seasons. He even assists with middle school injuries, extending his care to our younger athletes when needed. What’s even more special is that this year marks the first time Rose Hill has had a dedicated athletic trainer, as James was hired directly by the district, after years of contracting services through Susan B. Allen and Mid America Orthopedics. James is not just an incredible professional but also one of the biggest fans of our students and teams (right alongside all of the families!). We are grateful for his commitment and passion for supporting our athletes, and we are proud to have him as a part of the Rose Hill family! 🚀
