Principal Message

Dear RAHS families,


Spring is here! There are many reasons to be excited about all that is ahead of us as the school year continues!


  • Spring Break will be March 25-April 1. Hopefully, you and your families will take the time to relax, enjoy, and spend time doing the things you love. I hope the weather cooperates with us!
  • Catch up on our latest episodes of the Beaver Tracks: Navigating RAHS Life podcast. Feel free to listen to ALL episodes if you get the chance…there are so many positive things happening in and around RAHS!
  • The PreACT test will take place at RAHS on April 9th. There is no school for juniors and seniors. Testing will wrap up around 11:30 am, and afternoon activities are planned for freshmen and sophomores (afternoon schedule TBD).


We will share more information about graduation and other upcoming events on the school website. Please feel free to call us at (608) 768-8928 Ext.1106.  

Respectfully,


Matt Terry, Principal
