When first being able to go into the building as a high school student, I did not know what to expect or what to feel. Initially, I was hesitant about the school because I was nervous that it was just going to be like the movies, and how there would be certain cliques that I wouldn't be able to be a part of. For the most they're are groups that tend to stay with one another, but overall, everyone is really nice and friendly. As I have been educated here these past few years I found myself being more confident and social with other people. I have made new friends with students and with teachers and I believe that any student that walks these hallways is benefitted.
The school is overall a good place. The teachers are definitely invested into the students. They do try their best especially when wanting their students to succeed. But yea, there can be bad moments like decent food and hallway can it a little to much but it’s still a good school. I love the academic courses. It varies to swimming and all even to piano. The peers can be chaotic but it’s good when their motivated in wanting to be the best. Even though, they’re still students who lack a lot of things.
My experience in RHS has been one of the greater times of my life, many students involved in many of the clubs and activities it has, great selection of after school activities, the diversity gives a better vibe in the environment as there are many different cultures in every single hallway throughout the day. The teachers create a professional but fun workplace and bonds. The food probably was the least of my favorites as to quality of the food wasn’t the greatest for students, but it was better than nothing, left some students not eating their food due to the quality.
