New Athletic Facilities coming soon!
On May 31st, the Bryan County Board of Education released the Fall 2025 open date and some insight on our brand new Richmond Hill High School. We are beyond excited and looking forward to the new and innovative space. The opportunities to support our student athletes and coaches, along with bring the community in for great events, are endless.
CJ's Play Zone
Richmond Hill High School and CJ's Event Rentals have partnered to create an exciting Fun Zone at high school football games. This zone is designed for kids aged 10 and under and features bounce houses, a mini football field, and various games. Families can enjoy a delightful and wholesome experience, fostering a sense of community and joy during the football season. The Fun Zone promises to be a memorable addition to each game-day event, providing endless fun and play for the young attendees. Kids can enjoy all the activities for free with a paid admission to the game, making it a fantastic value for families looking to create lasting memories together. Moreover, the Fun Zone is proudly staffed by dedicated members of the school's athletic programs and clubs, offering valuable service opportunities for these young men and women, and further strengthening the bond between the school and its community.
Build The Hill Partnership
Over the past year we have studied how to better improve and streamline some different items. Those 3 items are fundraising, supporting local business, and media.
To provide the very best experience for our athletes, it takes funding. We are excited to share some new and unique opportunities to partner with us in the experience and development of our young men and women.

Giving
We created giving levels that are more philanthropic in nature. These are different price points, where individuals can give a monetary pledge, to help fund our athletic programs. We envision alumni, current and past parents/fans, and future Wildcat parents/fans taking advantage of this option.
Corporate Sponsorship
Our local businesses graciously support for our community and schools. We created a streamlined approach to take pressure off of businesses, while also creating some additional exposure opportunities at RHHS athletic events and through social media. Through our website, local business can reach out to us and gather information on supporting RH Athletics as a whole, or for individual sports.
Wildcat Media
RH Productions has a long history of producing in-house media for students, teachers, and all stakeholders. From Wildcat News, live streaming events, commercials and media for local business, RH Productions has served as an outlet for all things Richmond Hill. This is one of our most popular pathways, with the addition of a 3rd teacher, we have over 200 students that are engaged and eager to learn. We are very proud to announce that we are expanding RH productions for Radio and Commercials for our athletic events. This is another great way to give our students industry experience, while producing professional content and building a portfolio for their future. We livestream ALL of our events on NFHS, while radio will cover football, baseball, and basketball.
