Rock Ridge High School PTSO

Remembering and honoring the brave men and women who fought for our freedom this Memorial Day. Thank you to all for your service and making the ultimate sacrifice!

In this new and challenging time of distance learning, our teachers are certainly working TO INFINITY and BEYOND normal duties! Although we had a wonderful, food-and-fun-packed week planned for the faculty, due to the campus closures, social distancing requirements and the current stay-at-home order, those plans were canceled. We will still be honoring our teachers, although differently than we would have liked.

We are collecting donations to distribute gift cards to the faculty. This year, Rock Ridge has over 160 faculty members and we hope to collect enough funds to give meaningful gifts to all of them! Please use the link below to donate.

Here’s a sneak peak of GradNite “tickets”. That’s right, they get a shirt as their ticket, which doubles as a souvenir that will help them remember the evening - especially the color wars at the end! 😉
