🎉 NEW AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM: RP CONNECT! 🎉

Looking for a place to connect, get homework help, hang out, or make the most of your time after school? We’re excited to introduce RP Connect, a brand-new after-school program in the LC!

📅 Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays
⏰ 3:00–4:45 PM
📍 Learning Commons

Think of RP Connect like an open house after school — come and go as you need! Teachers and, occasionally, NHS tutors will be available for homework help, but RP Connect is about more than academics. It’s a welcoming space to connect, work, try new things, and spend time with others after school.

🎵🚀💚Today, we launched our very first ever courtyard concert during lunch with a band made up of our very own students. They were awesome!💚🚀🎵 💚Infield💚 💚🚀🪴Also, we want to give a huge shout out to the Garden Club for doing such an amazing job on the courtyard. 💚🚀🪴

🚀💚🏈 Fall Friday nights are made for football 🚀💚🏈 💚Rocket Pride💚

Under skies that couldn’t have been more perfect, we watched a sea of caps, gowns, and bright futures shine. Today wasn’t just a ceremony. It was a reflection of the culture that makes Rocket City great. To our graduates: we are so proud of you. Your resilience, your kindness, your brilliance. As the sun set on the stadium, it felt like a sunrise for everything ahead. Congratulations class of 2026! 🎓✨

Earlier this week, our AP Physics students put their knowledge to the test -literally! Using the principles of physics, students designed and built cardboard boats before taking them to the water to see if they would float…and survive the wind! With strong winds making the challenge even tougher, 3 out of 5 teams successfully made it across! It was an awesome hands-on lesson in teamwork, problem-solving, engineering, and perseverance.

Our 9th grade students had a great time at the MiCareerQuest Career this week! This hands-on experience gave students the opportunity to explore a wide variety of careers, interact with professionals, and learn about future education and career pathways. From skilled trades and healthcare to technology and public service, students were able to see so many exciting possibilities for their future. It was an engaging and inspiring day, and we are grateful for the opportunity to help our students connect classroom learning with real-world careers!

Congratulations to our group of AutoDesk Certified users!

Some students earned certifications in both Inventor and some in AutoCAD, showcasing their technical skills, dedication, and hard work throughout the year. We’re proud of all they’ve accomplished and excited to see how they continue to grow.

Great work, everyone! 👏

Last week’s Annual Art Show was a great celebration of creativity from our Art 3, Art 4, and AP Art students. One of the best parts of the show was the incredible variety of artistic expression on display. Each work reflected the unique perspective and voice of its artist. The talent, creativity, and hard work our students put into their artwork was evident throughout the entire exhibit. We are proud of all of our students for sharing their creativity and passion!

Today was one of those moments that reminds you how powerful community can be. In a full gym, Zoey won a car! Watching her reaction of joy and gratitude brought many of us to tears. Thank you Rynberg's Car Company for your generous donation of a car. We have many more pictures to share from an amazing RP Pride Day, but couldn't wait to share this moment.
