RPHS campus traffic flow change for second semester
Construction for the new Performing Arts Center at Ray-Pec High School is slated to begin in early January 2023.

We are excited to get started on construction! However, there is a need to change the campus traffic flow because the front traffic loop will not be accessible. In addition, the outside doors to the main office area will not be accessible during the construction period.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but are looking forward to the new Performing Arts Center for our students and patrons!

Here are details about the traffic flow change:
  • The front entry for students and visitors will be at the set of doors located just south of the traditional Main Office entry.
  • Access to the limited front parking lot and the newly located front office area will be closed to all patrons before 7:25 a.m. each day until student drop-off is complete.
  • Both before and after school, student drivers will need to access the school and/or parking lot through the parent drop-off line. Please anticipate school personnel to be available to stop traffic to provide periodic student crosswalk points.
