GRAD NIGHT IS MONDAY, JUNE 15, 2020 10 PM - 6 AM
It’s an epic all night graduation party with all your friends! You won’t know where we’re going, but we promise you will have so much fun at each location we go to. Last year’s senior class went to ACME Bowling where they got to bowl, wrestle in a giant inflatable, play fear factor and arcade games galore, take pictures in a photo booth, and then go to the Pacific Science Center for a laser light show, and hypnotist. This year one of the locations we will be going to is new and guaranteed to be amazing! You’ll get to eat good food, hang out with your friends, enjoy a bunch of fun-filled activities, and win prizes. It’s the best way to end high school, before heading off to the next chapter of your life! You can buy your tickets on the PTSA website by clicking the button below.

ATTENTION JUNIOR PARENTS
The RHS PTSA sponsors an
all-night drug and alcohol-free graduation celebration, called Grad Night! This event requires
many parent volunteers. Let’s face it, seniors don’t want mom and/or dad at their party, and mom and dad are tired from the whole day/year of events! This is why we need you. As parents of a junior we are asking that you pay it forward and volunteer to make this event a success, and then next year you get to go home and relax after graduation! There are many spots that we need help with; chaperones, checking students in for the event, and loading them onto buses, etc. We can’t do it without you and we are determined to make it a success every year, so please sign up to help out by clicking the button below. Your junior student thanks you!

RHS LADY MUSTANGS BOOSTERS
Every fall as school begins the basketball booster club sponsors "Fall Training" for those girls that are not participating in a fall sport. This is a great opportunity for players to begin conditioning and get ready for a fast and furious basketball season.
This fall -- 2019 -- the booster club is excited to announce our training program for 9 weeks before the season begins. Fall Training will begin the week of 9/16 and go right up to tryouts for basketball. As all returning players know --- the time is now to get in shape!!!
The athletes will train with a variety of people to build their strength, hone their skills, and learn game time strategies.
This may also include competing in a local basketball league!
In years past the booster club asks for all participants to help in defraying the cost of all of this training. This year the booster club is asking that each player pay $125.00 to the booster club for the "Fall Training Program". We have set up a link on our website and ask that each player register and pay on line, please use the link below. In addition each player will need to have the attached waiver signed and submitted before she can participate.
We never want to make this a family hardship, so if a player needs a scholarship please reach out to our treasurer Jeff Spelman. All requests will be kept confidential.
We hope the girls embrace this opportunity and get excited about the upcoming season. Go Stangs!!
