Our purely voluntary board is dedicated to ensuring it provides support for our staff and school community as we collaboratively continue to successfully prepare our students to realize their individual potential.

Sophia Peeples won the RCS HOSA Medical Terminology Quiz Bowl yesterday afternoon. Sophia correctly answered 28 medical word parts in 1 minute to win the bowl. Way to go, Sophia!!
Mrs. Conner's AP Environmental Science and Mrs. Devenuti's Stem 2-3 class took an exciting field trip to the Brown Water Treatment Plant in Durham, NC, on Wednesday, January 29. Students had the unique opportunity to tour the facility and learn firsthand from industry professionals about their water footprint. They explored just how much water goes into the everyday items we use, gaining valuable insight into water conservation and sustainability.
The High School Varsity Women's Basketball game for tonight has been canceled. The HS Varsity Men will now play at 6 p.m. tonight at RCS!
A few of our staff members spent the remote day at the ACT Summit Conference today. They learned about different avenues and strategies to improve overall student engagement and learning, as well as increasing ACT scores. They were also informed of the new changes coming to the ACT starting in April, which will not affect our students testing in March. They are now feeling even more qualified to help prepare our students for taking the ACT!
This week is National School Choice Week! We are proud to be a school of choice here in NC! #wearenccharters #schoolchoiceweek
At the close of the academic year (2023-2024), RCS students take state assessments on a variety of subjects in the areas of reading (ELA), math and science. They take end-of-grade (EOG) assessments in middle school and end-of-course (EOC) assessments for high school courses. The state uses statistical tools to measure academic growth. Many of our teachers received a rating of “Exceeds Growth” according to these measures, which placed them in the top 25% of teachers in the state in those measured areas in terms of growth. Congratulations to all the teachers who earned this achievement!

Biology (EOC) - Ashley Bailey
Biology (EOC) - Savanna Conner

Congratulations also to our teachers who met growth!

Thank you to our team of AP teachers for their consistent hard work, and the support they provide our students in excelling in the variety of AP courses we offer at RCS. Due to their efforts and our students’ achievement, RCS has once again been recognized by the College Board for developing an AP program that provides not only the opportunity for students to take, but also excel in an AP course of study. RCS earned Bronze recognition on the 2024 AP School Honor Roll. The state also recently recognized these teachers for their exceptional work. Congratulations!
