By: Abby Rose and Hunter Walcott-Coe

This week we interviewed Mr. Rosenquist, and the questions were... What is your favorite thing about Raleigh hills? Why did you start teaching at Raleigh hills instead of another school? And how long have you been teaching at raleigh hills for?

So we asked him the first question which was, What is your favorite thing about Raleigh hills and he said,”I love that Raleigh Hills has such a rich, old history. It is one of the oldest schools around, and has a lot of traditions. There is a lot of community here, and the mix of students from K-8 makes for a unique student body, where we can all benefit from. The RH Garden is also one of my favorite places to take students for a little fresh air and closeness to nature.”

Then we asked the next question and he replied with, “I loved that the school was the furthest east and close to where I lived at the time. I immediately loved the staff and students here, and knew that I had made the right choice.”

After that, we asked the last question and he said “19 years!” Then, one special question, can you solve a rubik’s cube, and he said “Of course! I’m working to solve it now in under 20 moves.”
