A MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL
|
Support the Andy Williamson Scholarship Fund
As their gift to the community, the families of the Class of 2017 have initiated, and are spearheading, the Andy Williamson Scholarship Fund. The senior class's students and parents encourage all Husky families whose sons and daughters were taught and inspired by Mr. Williamson to co
ntribute to the fund. You may donate online
here
or send a check made out to RHP directly to me at school.
The initial goal is to raise enough to sponsor an incoming 9th grade student from an underserved community for the next four years. My hope, and that of the senior class, is that we will be able to raise the amount needed before the end of the month so that we may quickly seek a suitable recipient to start in the fall.

Please join me in supporting this tremendous initiative.
And, while on the subject of this year's senior class, their
college list is impressive indeed, not to mention the close to $6 million they have attracted in scholarship offers from colleges and universities across the country!
What a great way to finish a challenging year on a real high!
Peter McCormack
Head of School

Senior dinner, the night before Commencement, is a unique part of
|
|
RHP/Ren Commencement Week. Because it is understood and accepted that everyone attends, you have already paid for your student's ticket with your graduation fee. We don't want to give too much away, but let's just say that one or two informal and lighthearted traditions take place at this dinner, and, well, it's not to be missed! No other school does it quite like this!
RHP and Ren Commencement Ceremonies
Friday, June 9 | 4:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Tent on Field
Members of the junior and senior classes are to arrive no later than 3:00 p.m.
