Rock Hill Review
November 15, 2020
Opening Up!
What a great week and weekend we have had on THE HILL! All of our teams that competed did a fantastic job with the culmination coming last night as both the Rock Hill Band and Prosper High School Band joined to put on a great show and once again demonstrate what we mean when we say TOGETHER WE ARE PROSPER. It is AWESOME that we have been able to create TWO remarkable programs at each campus and I can't thank our students and directors who have made this a reality at RHHS. I am so proud of everything they have done in such a short amount of time and, of course, in the middle of this continuing pandemic. As I have said, it's incredible to think that we have these amazing programs right now and we are just starting out, imagine what THE ROCK will look like in the years to come!!
Thank you so much for all you do to support us. Have a great weekend and please reach out if there is anything I can do to help! GO ROCK!!

Tips for Staying Healthy at School
10/22***Please see the new announcement from Dr. Bradley on the adjustment on the PISD definition of a close contact at school. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLAKN4Yg4iw
Avoid close contact with anyone- close contact = closer than 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) for more than 15 minutes. We make allowances at school for people wearing masks- but still please keep your distance- 3 feet minimum to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.
*Tip-- If you can reach you arm out fully extended and touch the other person- you are too close.
Wear your mask at all times in public- covering your nose and mouth fully
Avoid touching your mask, face, mouth, nose and eyes
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands
Please stay home when you are sick!
Please check the Daily online self-screener before coming to school or any PISD activities- if you answer yes to any of the questions, please stay home and respond to the screener. Click Rock Hill, answer the questions and submit. I will call you and discuss before you can come to campus.
Virtual Open House
We are very excited to announce our Virtual Open House! The goal of our Virtual Open House is to allow families the opportunity to hear from teachers about the classroom set up, present basic information regarding grading policies and get to know your child's teacher a little more.

The varsity boys did not let a false state by another competitor deter them from their race plan. Senior Blake Barnes took control of the race a half mile in and pulled away from the field to win the race in 15:33. Sophomore Gabriel De La O finished 18th overall (17:01), senior Bryce Earls finished 22nd overall (17:05), sophomore Samuel Knight finished 35th overall (17:37), junior Parker Sines passed 7 athletes in the final 100 meters finished 54th overall (18:15), and senior Colten Van Voorhis finished 75th overall (18:41). The varsity boys scored a total of 104 points and placed 3rd overall to qualify for the UIL State 5A Championship. Coach Morgan’s statement after the race, “Absolutely historic day. There are very few programs who qualify for the state meet in their first year of existence, and now we are on that list. I am very proud of our boys buying in and establishing this program on an elite level. Blake Barnes ran his best performance of the season today and will be a top contender at the state meet.”
Coach Morgan and Wilson are extremely proud of both teams' accomplishments this season. The varsity boys, Alexis Svoboda, and Kirstin Towle will compete at the UIL State 5A Championship on Monday November 23rd at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, Texas. Protect the Rock!

What is PISD Graduation Celebration?
Over 14 years ago, a group of Prosper High School parent volunteers created a
non-profit, PHS – Project Graduation. The goal was to follow the national charter,
which promotes drug and alcohol alternatives for students on the night of their
high school graduation. The event was typically at a venue in Frisco, started at
11pm on the night of graduation, and concluded at 5am the following morning.
Tickets were sold for the event to cover both the cost of the venue and to
purchase prizes for the seniors. Ticket prices have varied over the years from $50
to $150, depending on the class size and the price of the venue.
With the addition of a second high school and the growth of Prosper ISD, the
name and vision of Project Graduation had to evolve. Moving forward, Project
Graduation will be called Prosper ISD Graduation Celebration. The focus will be
to educate students on the dangers of drug and alcohol use while creating an
event for all PISD seniors.
Graduation Celebration will be held on May 19 at the Children’s Health Stadium,
6pm – 12am. The event will be FREE to all PISD seniors. There will be food,
inflatables, games, movie, a surprise from the senior parents, and gifts. In order for
this to be a memorable celebration for the 1,011 seniors in PISD, we need to raise
$100,000. We will also be accepting in kind donations as we get closer to the
event. There are many opportunities to volunteer, as a senior parent, business
owner, or community member.
Information regarding the Celebration will be updated for both PHS and RHHS
via the 2021 Senior pages on the ISD website, the Parent Facebook pages,
Principal Newsletters and the PISD Express. Feel free to reach out to any board
member for Prosper ISD Graduation Celebration. Together we can make a
special memory for PISD seniors!
Parent and Guardians,
We are so excited to be a part of the opening of Rock Hill High School and laying the foundation for the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). July started with a great boost with an amazing membership drive. As parents and guardians, we believe that we all have similar goals. We want our children and the students attending Rock Hill to laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained and to feel the support of those around them. PTO is here with the students and teachers in mind. Every decision PTO makes is with the focus of each and every student and teacher. We encourage you to join the PTO and stay connected with all upcoming PTO sponsored events.
Should you have any questions, comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to use via email at rockhillhighpto@gmail.com.
More information on how the PTO benefits the students and staff.
