RBHS Black History Month Celebrations
As you know, we celebrate Black History month in February to honor those who have come before us. Black History Month is an annual observance originating in the United States, where it is also known as African American History Month. Your RBHS MAC Scholars Program has decided to begin each school day by sharing black history "fun facts" and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. We also host a Black History Month Trivia game during lunch shifts to enhance the knowledge of each student as well as the staff. It doesn’t matter if you get the trivia question right. Our purpose is to enhance everyone's current knowledge of what they may or may not already know.
Thank you,
Mr. Mike Woods

CPS Summer School
Summer school is right around the corner. The school district promised to pursue an extended summer school option last summer when we were unable to offer our traditional summer school programming.
- K-8 students will have 6 weeks of summer school between June 14 and July 23. The mornings will be core curriculum and the afternoons will be enrichment.
- High School will have two sessions. The first session will be between June 14 and July 9 and is for credit advancement and credit recovery. The second session will be between July 12 and July 30 and is for credit recovery only.
Additional summer school information will be available on February 22 and enrollment will be open March 1 to April 30.
Rock Bridge CFAE Nominees
The Columbia Fund for Academic Excellence (CFAE) was established in the 1979-80 school year with an initial gift from Mr. and Mrs. Ray Lewis. Other individuals, community organizations, and businesses have contributed to the fund since that time. The fund was established for the purpose of making cash awards each year to educators in the Columbia Public Schools who are selected as exemplary in certain categories.
Rock Bridge High School's 2021 Nominees are pictured below. An incredibly meaningful part of this process is collecting letters of support for our nominees. All letters are submitted to the selection committee for review, and each nominee receives a personal binder with all letters included. If you are interested in writing a letter for any of our candidates, please submit your letter to Michele Parker (miparker@cpsk12.org) by March 1st.
