Roxboro Community School

A group of high school students toured NC State University and another group Toured UNC-Chapel Hill yesterday. The group at NC State was even joined by RCS Alumni and current NC State students, Jackson Powley and Cam Chaulk, on their tour! Both groups enjoyed their time visiting the campuses and learning more about what these universities have to offer! We look forward to providing opportunities for students to visit more NC campuses in the future.

Many thanks to Mrs. Devillier, Mrs. Cox, Mrs.Roberts, and Ms. Horton for helping with this event!

Here are the student spotlights for this week! Our middle school spotlight is Cierra Sasser! Cierra was chosen because she a great student with an excellent work ethic. She is also always kind and respectful to her peers. Our high school spotlight is Sandra Bojoy-Salvador! Sandra was chosen because she is an incredible artist.

Our student spotlights are BACK! To start off the new year, we are doing something a little different this week. Instead of a middle school and a high school spotlight, we have a group of eighth grade students we want to highlight this week! Meredith Cates, Macee Bowes, Ella Horner, Leah Griffin, and Lyndley Gentry are exemplary students in and out of the classroom. They all take honors classes and even some high school courses. Outside the classroom, they have shown kindness to others around them. Most of these girls have been friends since the sixth grade and this year they chose to befriend a fellow student, welcoming her into their group. Read more about these students and what their teachers had to say! https://www.roxborocs.org/article/1421378
