On February 12th, RCHS hosted its third Alumni Career Fair. There were 36 career fields and companies represented by nearly 70 alumni, and the graduation years ranged from 1971 to 2025. Every student attended, starting with the senior class and ending with the freshmen. Along with bringing information and swag for the students, most of the alumni brought interactive displays that were engaging and fun!
We are so grateful for the time the participants took to share their knowledge and experience with our students. We believe that it is vital to our community that students see the success of others first hand. This event provides insight into the opportunities that await them once they graduate high school.
We also want to say a special "Thank You" to Mike's Body Shop for sponsoring the lunch for our alumni, which were delicious boxed lunches from Bettye Rose Bakery.
