Congratulations, Mrs. Roberts! This honor is well deserved!
Kara Roberts was named our 2024-2025 Teacher of the Year today! This is an honor that is voted upon by our staff. While honoring her, Principal Jamel Jones shared that is nice to know who you’re walking with. “At RCS, even though we have different backgrounds, races, and cultures, the one thing we agree on is why we continuously move in a positive direction; we agree to do the best thing for our students, and because of that, I’m proud that we walk together,” Jones said. He shared that throughout this year, which has been tough for him personally, Roberts has walked with him, always coming to him and saying “what do you need, boss” and “I’ve got you, boss.” Roberts was grateful for the honor, sharing that RCS is a wonderful place to go to work. “It’s wonderful to work in a place where everyone works together instead of against each other,” she said. We are thankful for Mrs. Roberts and all the hard work she puts in to make our school a better place. She is amazing asset to our school community and we are lucky to have her!
Today at our End of Year Celebration, we celebrated middle school counselor, Suzy Horton who is retiring!
To celebrate her, high school counselor, LaTonya Ragland and middle school teacher, April Cobb shared their own memories and kind words about Horton along with more from other staff members. They shared about Horton’s compassion, kindness, and the fierce love she has for the students, along with her fun, no-nonsense personality! She thanked everyone for their kind words and for all the support and love she has received during her time at RCS.
As one staff member shared, Horton has been an anchor for the students at RCS and an incredible resource and friend to the staff members throughout the years. We will miss her greatly, but we are so excited for her to enjoy her retirement! The countdown is officially over!
Congratulations to the Class of 2025! #BulldogProud
