RCHS Newsletter

RCHS Stakeholders,

We are excited to offer this newsletter once again as a way to communicate all that is occurring within our school. So far our school year is off to a great start. We have many positive aspects of our school community that we want to share with our stakeholders. We are thankful to our community for their support and understanding thus far and for all that is to come throughout this school year. Our communications team is effective at keeping our Facebook, Instagram, website, and newsletter up to date. We are so thankful to the educators that make our communications flow so smoothly. We would like to thank, in no particular order, Mai-Li Miller, Rebekah James, Brian Kamer, Jeff Ferrell, John Walker, Dawn Combs, and Austin Marsh for all of their work to spread the good news surrounding Rhea County High School. If we can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for sharing your children with us; we look forward to continuing to work together.

Thank you,

Dr. Scotty Herrell
