It is RCSC’s desire to make sure we honor all students, especially the seniors as they complete their last year at Rochester High School.   I will be formally asking the board to change graduation to the evening of June 26, 2020.  We hope by changing the date, we will have a greater opportunity to host a traditional graduation ceremony.  As we are uncertain as to what restrictions may still be imposed, we are working on contingency plans that will also allow the students and their families to be recognized.

Prom at this time has been postponed.  We will look to have a prom this summer in our high school gymnasium, if the timing is appropriate.

Senior honors night will look quite differently this year.  We will be asking all donors to generate a 30 second video to highlight their scholarship and then notify the recipient.  We will then utilize social media, our school websites as well as RCTV4 to help us broadcast that out to the community.

We will continue to engage in e-Learning as planned starting again next week.  As I get further instructions and mandates from the state, we will keep you apprised of how we will continue to educate our students.

We are all experiencing a level of uncertainty we have not seen before.  As information is still very fluid, we will do our best to communicate plans to you.

Wishing our students, their families and our community good health!
