A few parents, students and faculty travelled to South Boston, VA to get a truck full of desks, donated by the old Halifax County High School! We received enough desks to outfit and replace old desks in 4 of our classrooms! Our teachers are thrilled to have these desks and to be able to replace aging ones in their classrooms! Thank you to everyone who us load and unload the desks and to the old Halifax County High School for donating them!

Karrie Obie was presented with a scholarship from the Lewis "Eddie" Winstead Memorial Fund yesterday afternoon. The scholarship is given in memory of Eddie Winstead. Each year, the scholarship committee chooses to award the scholarship to students who excel academically and athletically and would have benefited from Eddie's training, guidance, teaching, and mentorship.
Obie is a strong student and an incredible multisport athlete, playing basketball and softball. She will be attending UNC-Greensboro in the fall to play softball. We have been so lucky to have her talents at RCS for many years and are so proud of her and all of her accomplishments! Thank you to the Winstead family for coming in each year to present this scholarship!

We finally got to recognize and celebrate Alexis Vander Poppen today! Back in September, Vander Poppen was named the Distinguished Young Woman of Roxboro! Then, in January she was named the Distinguished Young Woman of North Carolina! Alexis' mom (and dad who was there virtually) joined our high school students and staff as they gathered around the atrium to celebrate these amazing accomplishments!! We are so #BulldogProud of Alexis!

Dear RCS Family,

Due to road conditions, there is no school for students and staff tomorrow, February 3. With school being called off tomorrow, per previous guidance, RCS will have extended day school starting Monday, February 16 through Monday, March 2. If additional days are missed, we will be required to extend more days past March 2. We will inform the school community as updates are needed.

As mentioned, the decision to pursue the extended school option was carefully considered by administration in collaboration with the RCS School Improvement Team. A priority was placed on preserving spring break and instructional time as our staff is working diligently to prepare students for end of year expectations.
