Honors Calculus
Honors Calculus
Students in Mrs. McCullough's honors calculus class celebrate a big milestone: proving the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus! The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC) is used to connect differentiation and integration, allowing for the easy evaluation of definite integrals. It is primarily used to solve for net change and calculate areas under curves.

Prep students attended the Move The Spectrum event at West Orange High School. The students, joined by Unified Sports club members, participated in exciting field day activities including tug of war, relay races, and golf. Everyone also enjoyed dancing, getting glitter tattoos, and meeting college football players. It was a fun-filled day celebrating inclusion, teamwork, and school spirit!
Wellness & Art
Wellness & Art
The Challenge: The wellness department faced a persistent hurdle of finding durable paddles for senior activity classes. Modern pickleball paddles often lacked the longevity of vintage gear, making it difficult to maintain a reliable inventory for students.
The Vision: To solve this, a cross-departmental collaboration was formed between wellness teacher Mr. Kay and art teacher Mr. Wohner. The goal was to leverage the expertise of woodshop master Mr. Wohner to design and manufacture custom paddles that were both more durable and more cost-effective than commercial alternatives.

Frau Makhlouf and Mr. Aday travelled with a group of 8 German students to Austria and Germany as part of the German language program at RHS. While spending spring break abroad, students were exposed to traditional food, museums and many other attractions while also honing their German skills. The trip's highlights were a visit to a salt mine, a boat tour on the Königssee, a cooking lesson, a visit to the Red Bull Hangar, a bike tour through Munich and a visit to Dachau Concentration Camp.

Inspired? It's not too late to start. Learn to Row is now open for registration. Rowing is one of the rare sports where you can pick it up in high school and still reach the highest levels of competition — in fact, several of the rowers heading to Youth Nationals this year didn't start until sophomore year.
