Thank you for sharing your Grandparents/Loved Ones!
It was a joy to welcome so many grandparents and loved ones to our hallways during our recent special event. Our students truly cherished the opportunity to show their guests around their learning environment and to worship together during a special Chapel.
These visitors serve as a powerful testimony of heritage, faith, and legacy. We are deeply grateful for the time they shared with us, and we pray that the Lord’s truth continues to be magnified through their guidance and testimonies.
“We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, about His power and His mighty wonders.” —Psalm 78:4

-
Get a good night’s sleep: Encourage your student to get plenty of rest the night before testing.
-
Start the day with a good breakfast: A nutritious breakfast can help students feel ready to learn and test.
-
Arrive on time: Make sure your student arrives at school on time and ready for the day.

The 2026–2027 fall sports season is here, and we're excited to cheer on our Eagle teams!
To help make our athletic events successful, we ask each student-athlete household to complete two volunteer shifts during the school year, either in concessions or at the ticket booth. These may be fulfilled by each custodial parent serving once or by one parent serving twice. RCS Athletics depends on the support of our families. Thank you for partnering with us and helping us represent our school with excellence. Go Eagles!
Volunteer opportunities are available for volleyball, softball, spirit trailer, elementary football, and MS/HS football.
