During the school year, students are offered various extra-curricular options, like becoming part of a society or participating with people interested in the same activities. This allows them to interact and have a good time.

If qualified in several factors, RHS students can be a part of different societies like National Honors Society, National Spanish Honors Society and National Art Honors Society. They tutor other students during lunch or after-school. Members are required to get 15 hours by tutoring while another 10 are earned by other activities.

Such societies work with students of character, scholarship, leadership and service. “NHS recognizes students’ leadership and provides services to the school,” said English teacher, adviser of NHS John Cavanaugh O’Keefe.

For NSHS, students are also required to earn 100 points by tutoring and helping organizations or giving aide as a group. “The purpose of the team is to develop an appreciation for the Spanish language and culture inside and outside of the classroom,” said Spanish teacher Julia Peck, who is one of the advisers.

While NSHS and NHS tutor students, NAHS goes to museums to learn more about art. They, like their counterparts, also work with people new with art. “NAHS supports the artist’s research, and is involved with being creative and providing community support,” said art teacher, NAHS adviser Ronny Loyd.

These societies help students create new relationships with other students and help increase their knowledge by tutoring and other activities. It is a great opportunity to make new friends and have fun. If a student does not meet the qualifications of the society, he or she may join other tutoring clubs offered in the school.
