Five Richmond Senior High Schoolers attended the North Carolina Technology Student Associations’s State Conference in Greensboro from April 14th-16th, with each student ultimately placing first in their competitive event. 

     Freddie Alexander placed 1st in the Dragster Design, while the team of Stephen Collins, Logan Smith, Patrick Martin and Adrien Khamchanh took top honors in the Scientific Visualization category. 

     They will represent RSHS this June at the TSA National Conference in Nashville, TN. 

     Made up of more than 200,000 middle and high school students, the Technology Student Association is geared to those who aspire to be future engineers, scientists and technologists.

West Rockingham recently inducted ten students into their National Jr. Beta Club.  

     Mr. Dennis Quick, Richmond County Schools’ Executive Director of Auxiliary Services, was the speaker.  

     As part of the ceremony, students lit five candles, each representing a necessary characteristic for a Beta Club member.  Additionally, they recited the Beta Club pledge and were awarded their membership card, a certificate and a pin. 

    A small reception was held after the ceremony for students and their families.  

     Pictured are:  Beta Club Teacher Leaders Kelsey Greene and Angel LeGrande as well as students, Ashley Murphy, Joy Styles, Ariana Telus, Kenleigh Locklear, Jai’lyn Hines, Rebekah Murphy, Tyson Holloway, Edriana Davis, Naylah Smeigh, and Kayleigh Leviner.    

Our Rockingham Middle Schoolers are pretty much amazing! Sixth Grader Jenna McRae has been hospitalized with an eye infection for the past week.  But her classmates didn’t want her to miss out on the Preppy Possum painting fun!  So, they brought supplies and showed her the techniques they learned to make their own flamingos.  

A special shout-out goes to our RCS Board of Education! It's clear Rockingham Middle School loves their new sign!
