Our wonderful PTO helps teachers and staff during various events each semester. They help with things like awards ceremonies, chaperoning dances, and meals for teachers during conferences. They always need volunteers to help make these events successful. If you would like to help out and become a PTO volunteer you can email Kristy Freyaldenhoven, the RJHS PTO Volunteer Coordinator.

Students that maintain an 80% average over the 3rd and 4th 9 weeks, have the option to be exempt from their semester exam. Attendance does not matter as far as exemptions go.

Students are welcome to take their exam if they would like to improve their grade. If a student is exempt and attempts to take the semester exam and they do not do well, it will not count against them.

It is the goal of RJHS teachers and staff to keep student grades updated weekly for parents and guardians to stay aware of their child's/ children's progress throughout the semester. If you are having trouble accessing HAC (Home Access Center) you can email Jennifer Roberts for help with login credentials.

RJHS Junior High Quiz Bowl teams placed 1st and 2nd in 6A regionals held in Russellville, on February 3, 2023. Each team will advance to the 6A state quiz bowl finals on February 25, 2023.

The RJHS 72801A team took home the Judges Award at the Cabot Panther Round-Up Tournament held on January 21st, 2023. Team 72801A consists of Kesler Frost, Bryan Chica, Kali Richeson, Jayson Lee, Grace Streett, Ayden Schwartz, and Julia Beerman.

The tournament, which was held at Cabot Junior High School, featured teams from various schools in the area competing in a series of challenges designed to test their skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

The RJHS team impressed the judges with their innovative design and outstanding performance in the tournament. They demonstrated exceptional teamwork and problem-solving abilities, which ultimately earned them the coveted Judges Award.

This is an outstanding achievement for the team and school, and a testament to the value of STEM education in the community. Congratulations to the RJHS Robotics team 72801A on their outstanding performance.
