Thank you to all who applied!
I want to take a moment to thank everyone who applied for selection in Rio ASB this year. We had more than 150 applicants for about 15 spots— which means the reality is this: most students who apply are not selected.
It takes real courage to apply for something competitive, and you should be proud of yourself. Whether or not you are ultimately selected, you’ve already shown leadership, creativity, and a willingness to step up, and that itself is pretty impressive. Every application was reviewed with care and intention, and we spent hours on these very difficult decisions.
Every applicant was reviewed using the same process:
Completion and depth of application responses
Participation in our group interview process including large and small group.
Teacher evaluations of character, collaboration, leadership, and dependability
We aim to build a balanced team, not just select the loudest voices or most polished performers, but those who could bring a variety of strengths to our program and to each other.
Congratulations to the following students for making it into Rio ASB 25-26
Please email Mrs. Welch at awelch@hartdistrict.org to accept your spot.
