Principal’s Message

Dear parents, guardians, and community partners:

Happy Autumn!

We are one month into the school year, and there is so much to be thankful for! The community came together in big ways to celebrate annual events like Corn Feast, The Great Steak Feed, and Homecoming. I would also like to thank the RAHS faculty members/advisors who spend so much time working with our student leaders to organize, plan, and run these events. RAHS students are awesome! Their involvement, energy, enthusiasm, and positivity during these first few weeks are worth mentioning because it is foundational in making the culture and climate here so much better.

Our first attempt at a Friday carnival was well received. So many club advisors and members provided a variety of activities and games. It was an opportunity for students and families to have fun on campus from 2 p.m. through the football game. The new Viking Village Beaver Pavilion provided the perfect space for this event.

Looking ahead, we are excited to continue the work in our commitment to helping all of our students achieve greatness. Please visit our school website for specific dates for PreACT and other activities coming up during the month of October.

Our hope is to continue a great partnership with you in creating the best academic experience for our students!

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Matt Terry

RAHS Principal
