RBHS Booster Announcements

The Bruin Booster Club promotes school spirit & provides programs & financial support to the athletic teams & student-athletes of Rock Bridge High School (RBHS).  Since 2003, the Booster Club has raised & allocated a significant amount of funds to benefit the Bruin athletic programs.  Those who purchase a Booster Club membership will receive a pass (or passes) to attend all home athletic contests in all seasons.  All money raised through membership dues stays at RBHS to support our student athletes, plus the pass can be less expensive than purchasing individual game tickets throughout a season.
