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!
⚽️ 𝐋𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭! 🚀

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 our awesome girls' swim team at the Marion Invitational last night! 🏊♀️

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! 🚀

In January, members of the RHHS Choirs attended both the Treble Choir Festival at Hesston College and Real Men Sing at Bethany College. These events provided valuable opportunities for the students to develop their voices, work with collegiate-level teachers, and collaborate with other Kansas high school students on their pieces. They did an outstanding job showcasing the talent and hard work that define the music program here at Rose Hill!
