The 2024-2025 school year has ended. Go to the library. Read a book! Go to a park! Go hiking! Watch a documentary. Go to the beach! Go to a museum. Pick a subject and learn something about it. Stay safe! We want to see you in August! Have a great summer!

Rickover is incredibly proud to announce that a record number of our talented track team members have qualified for the state championships this year! Their hard work, dedication, and hours training have truly paid off. We wish all our athletes the best of luck as they head to state, representing Rickover with pride and determination. Go, Raiders!

We are incredibly proud of the Rickover 8th graders, Class of 2025, and all their remarkable achievements this year! The Awards Ceremony provided a wonderful opportunity to honor individual accomplishments. As they prepare to transition to high school, we are confident that they will continue to excel and make a positive impact in the future.

Mr. Moton and the student council traveled to Strasburg last week to participate in Step Up Day. Our student council members facilitated a presentation to get students excited about middle school. Great job to everyone involved!
