School lunches provide a nice hot meal for our students during the cold snowy days of winter. Thanks to our food service workers for all they do!
Due to quarantine of our boys basketball team we have postponed our Winter Royalty (scheduled for next Friday, January 29th) until Tuesday, February 9th.
Congratulations to two RCHS students for their selection to the 1234A All-State Honor Band! Juniors, BreAnn Miesner (Clarinet) and Brandon Moots (Horn) were recognized for this tremendous honor. To be eligible, students first audition against all students 1-6A in the North Central District, then re-audition against all 1234A students in the state.
Our state conference is virtual this year, which means these two will be attending several Zoom rehearsals to learn music and how to record to a click track. Then they will create a virtual ensemble with all of the All-State members. Thank you to Mrs. Lloyd for her well established program, and helping contribute to their recognition! Congratulations again BreAnn and Brandon! Go Falcons!

Staff of the Quarter: This RCHS student led and selected award polled our student body to reveal their inaugural recipient, Mr. Hartenbower! Mr. Hartenbower is a long time resident of Riley County and is in his 1st year of teaching. He has brought a wealth full of knowledge, craftsmanship, and expertise to our Industrial Technology department. Mr. Hartenbower received nearly 20% of the votes to win the first ever awarded “Staff of the Quarter”. Student Council representative Arlie Headley (9th Grade) and sponsor Mrs. Harmison, along with Payton Baker (12th Grade) and our Student Advisory Committee pioneered this award. Arlie did a tremendous job taking the lead on this entire recognition. We couldn’t be happier with the students leadership and enthusiasm to recognize our staff! Pictured with Mr. Hartenbower are his seminar students and Arlie. Congratulations Mr. Hartenbower!
