Congratulations to our Staff Basketball Team for their win against our own 8th graders in Rickover's Staff vs. Student Game on May 17th.
Our 8th graders were dressed to the nine's today as they prepared to attend the annual boat trip today. The colors they chose were black and white. The students will enjoy their time on the boat as they close out their year with a bang.
An overwhelming Thank You to Commissioner Donna Miller for sparing her time and efforts in speaking with our Student Government about her career, and background while answering the multitudes of questions our students had today. Also a large thank you to Mayor Burgess and Dr. Donna Leak for their attendance today as well.
Our 6th graders had a marvelous time at Medieval Times for their annual 6th grade field trip! Knights, food and fun were had as the students cheered on their knight of color!
Thank you to Ms. Coleman and The Chicago Bulls for letting our Varsity Boys Basketball Team, Dr. K and Coach Jones and Coach Abrams attend the most recent game!
Prairie State College visited RJHS on 3/29 & 3/31 to introduce students to the TRIO program. Our goal is to get more students excited about college. Thank you, PSC.
