Parents, Reminder that Parent parking to pick up your student after school is in the back. We have blocked off parking spots in the northeast corner of the student parking lot so you can park there and wait for your student to meet you. The front of the building will be blocked off so please do not block incoming traffic on purple pass. Thank you and lets make this a great year!








RTHS Main Office and Athletic Office will be open late today, August 7th from until 7pm. Make sure to drop off any missing registration documents, physicals, immunization records and dental exams. If you have not yet registered for school or a fall sport, now is the time!






If students would like to decorate their locker please have them come Wednesday and Thursday this week. Students will not be able to decorate lockers August 11th or August 12th due to Teacher meetings all day.
We at RTHS are looking forward to seeing everyone on their first day back August 13th!





REMINDER!! The parking permit form will go live to the student's school email at 7:30 am on Monday August 4th. The cost this year will be $50.00. This form only reserves you a spot. You will need to stop by the main office Thursday August 7th and Friday August 8th to pay for your tag and pick it up. Students are not allowed to park in the west lot. 2025-2026 UPDATED Parking Permit Policy


The Illinois State Seal of Biliteracy is an official recognition from the Illinois State Board of Education that certifies high school graduates who have demonstrated proficiency in English and at least one other language. It appears as a gold seal on a student’s diploma and transcript. Students qualify by meeting benchmarks on standardized English assessments (such as the ACT or SAT) and demonstrating at least proficiency in a second language through state approved language exams.
Students who earn the Illinois Seal of Biliteracy are eligible to receive up to 6–12 hours of free college credit in language coursework at participating Illinois public colleges and universities.
