Interested in Dual Enrollment?

To learn more information attended a parent information meeting on Thursday, May 9th at 6:00 PM at RHS in Grace Mullen Auditorium.  The meeting is not mandatory but it is recommended if your student's has never taken a Dual Enrollment course.  Additionally, student meetings will be held at each high school as follows:
