✈️ Rusk HS Staff is Ready for Takeoff! ✈️
This year, we’re on a mission — to help every student learn how to #flyYOURplane.
📍Captured at the Cherokee County Airport during our staff development, our team is grounded in purpose and ready to SOAR. We believe in empowering students to take control of their journey — because “It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot.”
At Rusk ISD, we believe it’s not just about the destination — it’s about the journey. Every challenge, every choice, every step along the way matters. And we’re here to guide, support, and celebrate our students through it all.
No matter the circumstances, background, or starting point, success comes from within. RHS students, let’s SOAR together in 2025-2026!
