Freshman football recap - Your Freshmen Rockets pulled off another shutout last night, defeating Grand Haven 6-0 in a gritty, hard-fought win! The Rockets’ defense was outstanding all night, led by LJ Gordon, Braden McManus, and Parker Secrest. On Grand Haven’s opening drive, Drew Scanlan made a strong initial tackle before Braden McManus punched the ball loose, forcing a fumble that was recovered by LJ Gordon. Zander Fitzgerald also came up huge on special teams, delivering several great punts that consistently gave the Rockets’ defense excellent field position. Offensively, the Rockets saved their best for last. In a two-minute drill late in the game, Parker Secerest led the Rockets and drove down the field and finished it off with a jump ball to Braden McManus, who hauled it in and dragged a defender 10 yards into the end zone for the game-winning Rockets touchdown! What a team effort! Final: Rockets 6 – Grand Haven 0 Another shutout. Another Rockets win!

Today our RPHS Michigan History students visited RPEL to read the children’s books they created to DK and 1st grade classrooms! 📚💙 They did a phenomenal job sharing their stories, connecting with younger students, and bringing Michigan history to life.
For one of their final projects, students created original children’s books on Michigan topics of their choice, including the automobile industry in Detroit, Michigan’s state animals and trees, Michigan cities, and the landscapes that make our state unique. We are so thankful for the opportunity to partner together to make this experience happen! 🌲🐟🚗🦌🌊

Today, our biology classes traded in their desks for gloves and trash bags as they worked together to clean up our school campus. It was amazing to see their teamwork and dedication to making a difference right here in our own community!
Trash doesn’t just “go away.” When litter is left behind, it can:
• Harm wildlife who may ingest or get tangled in it
• Pollute our soil and water systems
• Break down into microplastics that enter the food chain
• Take years, or even centuries. to decompose
By taking action today, our students are learning that even small efforts can have a big impact on protecting our environment.
We are so proud of these students for stepping up, getting their hands dirty, and showing what it means to care for the planet we all share. 🌱💚
