News and Updates

Join Us on Facebook for a Virtual RHE Spirit Week!

Just because we're all at home doesn't mean we can't share our Raccoon Pride! Post a picture of yourself and/or your student in RHE swag or your favorite team's gear in the comments of our Facebook post here.

For an even simpler way to show your spirit, email your photo to our Facebook maven, Rachel Ingalls, and she'll post it for you. Emailed photos will be posted on Friday, so be sure to come back to check out all the photos at the end of the week! 

Not feeling like changing shirts but still want to join in the fun? Leave a note or video in the comments telling us what you miss most about RHE.  

Pictures posted on Facebook or emailed may also be used in this year's RHE Yearbook. 

These RHE PTSA events, both scheduled to take place on April 23, have been postponed. We are exploring the possibility of replacing them with virtual events and will keep you updated.
