So many great events happening at RHS in the month of May!
We are excited to invite parents and community members to join us as we celebrate the Class of 2024 at Decision Day!
Congratulations to Leann Hogg for being this year's Rusk High School Teacher of the Year! The staff and students are lucky that you call Rusk home. Thank you for all of the time you give to your students, athletes, and our staff. You make everyone feel loved and appreciated!
Powder Puff has been cancelled for 2024.
All RHS students will be taking home an OPT-OUT form for our solar eclipse viewing on April 8th. All those who wish to not participate will need to bring this form, signed by a parent or guardian, back on Monday. Glasses will be provided for every student that would like participate! Please understand if you do not return the opt-out form you are giving your student consent to view!
Classes will resume at Rusk high school tomorrow, April 3rd, on our regular schedule. The building has been thoroughly cleaned and the air quality is good. All of the building's electrical systems have been checked and they are operating perfectly. The students that meet in the classroom that was damaged will be informed of their new room assignment by the High School administration. Grey Burton
After examining the damage from the fire at Rusk High School and meeting with the Restoration company, we have decided the campus will remain closed at least through Tuesday, April 2nd. We want to ensure the campus is safe for our students and staff. Cotton commercial restoration will be cleaning the affected areas, removing numerous ceiling tiles throughout the campus and having the air purified in the building. We are hopeful this work can be completed by the end of day tomorrow but we will send additional information through Remind and on social media to keep everyone updated as we progress. We have been approved for an attendance waiver for two days through the State and will apply for additional days if needed. Thank you for your patience as we work through this situation.

***Después de examinar los daños causados por el incendio en Rusk High School y reunirnos con la empresa de restauración, hemos decidido que la escuela permanecerá cerrado al menos hasta el Martes 2 de Abril. Queremos garantizar que la escuela sea segura para nuestros estudiantes y personal. La restauración comercial Cotton limpiará las áreas afectadas, quitarán numerosas tejas del techo en toda la escuela y purificarán el aire en el edificio. Esperamos que este trabajo pueda completarse mañana al final del día, pero enviaremos información adicional a través de Remind y en las redes sociales para mantener a todos actualizados a medida que avanzamos. Hemos sido aprobados para una exención de asistencia por dos días a través del Estado y solicitaremos días adicionales si es necesario. Gracias por su paciencia mientras trabajamos en esta situación.
