Shout out to our Students!
A HUGE shout out to JT Sandlin who will be representing Richlands High School in the North Carolina Honors Choir this year! He, along with many of our students, auditioned with over 1200 students from the entire state for this honor! JT was selected for a spot as a Tenor in the choir and it is such an honor to have our school represented by a fantastic young man! JT Sandlin is a freshmen here at RHS and is extremely musically gifted!

Be Cool- Come to School!
Students, attendance in school is very important! If you are absent from school, you must provide an excuse when you return. If you bring in a note to leave school for a doctor’s appointment, you must bring in proof of a doctor’s visit. Drivers; all notes to check out of school MUST include a reason for checking out. Notes indicating the checkout is for an "appointment " is not sufficient. If absence is for a funeral, copy of obituary or program is required. Turn your notes into the front office as soon as you get to school in the morning. Remember you are only allowed 10 days excused or unexcused!
