Community Service Reminders
All RHC members are required to complete 20 hours of community service annually. The hours need validation from the activity sponsor, who must fill out a confirmation form in ink for the student to submit to the reporting form. Links for both documents are available on the RHC Community Service page.
Students under probation for the 23-24 school year must finish and submit their hours by the end of Fall break. Failure to do so will lead to their removal from RHC.
Community service hours for the 24-25 school year must be completed by April 30. Seniors who do not fulfill their hours will not receive an RHC graduation stole/cord.
Other Reminders:
- If you have not already done so, please complete the field trip survey HERE.
- Also, please make sure we have your correct t-shirt size by completing this FORM, if you have not already done so.
- Check your email regularly for important information.

Fundraiser
We are participating in the RHS Homecoming pigout event again this year. This event allows clubs and teams to raise money while students get to have a little fun at lunch.
RHC will be selling sodas again this year. We are asking for donations of canned drinks for this event. while all donations are appreciated, we would prefer the most common brands of drinks such as Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Dr. Pepper as those tend to sell best. Drinks can be delivered to room 506, 504, or 709. If you leave them in the office, please make sure the staff is aware that they are donations for the honors college.
To the parents and students that already sent in donations, THANK YOU!!!!
