    An okay experience. The ministers are amazing trips where you are able to learn new things and bond with classmates. Since it us a small school, class sizes are small so you get the individual attention you need but drama lingers everywhere and rumors spread quicker than wildfire. The best thing about the school is the teachers because they are so nice and will put effort into challenging you and helping you succeed. The second best thing is the amount of clubs. You would think there are barely any because its a small school but its just the opposite. There are so. many clubs to join and if they don't have yours, you can easily make one!

    Richmond Community has honors & AP courses that come in handy because they provide the extra push, so there will be less stress in college. It has many clubs including: FBLA, robotics, & debate club. There are annual minimester trips that takes place in April or May for a week. Freshmen goes on a camping trip, and sophomores & juniors go on college tours. As a tradition, there's a harvestfest when all teachers' "families" are paired for a dance battle & sports.
    Where do I begin? RCHS is an amazing school that offers rigorous academics as well as amazing opportunities for success. Everyone that works at the school from the teachers to the counselors want to see you to well and create chances for you too. I had a great time at RCHS , our minimesters trips to NYC, Charleston, and Chesapeake Camping Trip allowed us to be independent and also learn other cultures and explore new territory. Honestly the best school I have ever gone to!!! Everyone that attended RCHS has excelled in college as well as life and RCHS has a strong family feel where alumni are all connected.
