News and Notes from the Principal
Happy Friday! Just this week, we were notified by the GADOE of our 2021 graduation rate - 94.1! While last year was filled with a plethora of opportunities to navigate the Richmond Hill High School Class of 2021 can be defined in one simple word: Resilient. While this class of students experienced nearly 1.5 years of pandemic induced learning, the dedication, follow through and willingness to meet the expectations was encountered with determination and grit despite all circumstances. When you pair determined student’s with highly motivated teachers your end result is most often reflected in the academic achievement experienced.
While the pandemic forced students to accept a new modality for learning, it created opportunities for teachers to exercise creativity and flexibility in a multitude of ways. To say concurrent learning was simple on anyone would be a far stretch from the truth, however, the resiliency, hard work, and dedication of the staff and students alike allowed Richmond Hill High School to not only meet but exceed expectations with a Commitment to Excellence and Success in ALL we do!
We look forward to continuing this positive trajectory in the years to come and appreciate the parental support you provide to ensure RHHS remains focused on the goals of maintaining a safe, productive and educationally sound environment to ensure our students get what they need.
Enjoy your weekend ahead! Rest, relax and recharge!
