My experience at Rutherford High School was enjoyable. Unlike some peers, I was new to the Rutherford public school system during my freshman year. I didn't know anyone but I quickly grew to know people and made friends throughout my high school years. What I loved most about Rutherford was the art department. I always had a love for art and being in the art department, I felt really in my element. There was not a school year that went by where I didn't take at least 1 art course. The teachers in these departments are also so welcoming and very helpful to those that want to pursue their art journey. Even for those who aren't art students, there is a little something for everybody to enjoy. The amount of courses that you can take is incredible from robotics, textiles, business, computer programming, photography, etc. I truly did enjoy my time in this school, even with the interrupted time during covid.
I loved my time at RHS because of my teachers and the memories I've made with my classmates. Coming from a smaller town, we've all grown up together for the past 12 years and for the most part, we're all pretty close. I only wish that the school made more of an effort to incorporate more school spirit in everyday life. Having more school spirit would make students more willing to come to school each day, respect the faculty and district, and make the most of their studies.
Great academics, teachers, Clubs & Activities, and sports. Classes environment feels connected but this can dependent on the size of the class, classmate, and teacher. Overall I had a great experience in this school.
