Guidance News
RHS College Speaker Series
Admission Representatives from Penn State, Manhattan College, Saint Louis University, and Syracuse University participated in a discussion panel with the RHS Guidance Department on the latest trends in college admissions. The goal was to help RHS students and parents learn more about the college application process from the people on the other side of the application process.
In the Classroom
The Sound of Music
As a complement to the study of the Sound unit, Labowsky’s Physics CP students built musical instruments using recycled and biodegradable materials and wrote their invention story to share with kindergarteners at Somerville Elementary School. They wanted to dedicate the project to their Grade Advisor Mr. Pizzuto. “Mr. Pizzuto had a love for instruments, music, and live performances. We, too, find joy in music; our invention is in his memory.”
