Rickover Naval Academy HS

Our incredible students have been hard at work restoring the school garden! From prepping the soil and cleaning out the weeds to planting the seeds, they’ve handled it all.

We can't wait to see how our veggies and fruit grow—and more importantly, how they taste!

A huge thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves to make our green space beautiful again. Stay tuned for growth updates!

Way to go, Thomas and Aiden! Representing Rickover downstate at IHSA Illinois High School Association State Track and Field

We are nearing the Rummage Sale homestretch! 🏁 But we still need a TON of help over the next 2.5 weeks to set up the sale.

🚨 WE NEED HELP, ESPECIALLY THIS SATURDAY, MAY 30th (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM) 🚨
It is ALL HANDS ON DECK as we set up the tables for the sale! We will also be pricing items, but our main priority is getting those tables up. Even if you can only spare a little bit of time, every extra set of hands is much appreciated!

📆 Looking past Saturday? If you can help out at any other time with setup between now and Thursday, June 11th, that would be fantastic! This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we truly need all the help we can get.

🎓 Students: You can receive service learning hours for volunteering!

A massive thank you to everyone who has already been volunteering. We couldn't do this without you!

Our students took part in the annual Chicago Memorial Day Parade. Together with all CPS JROTC units, they proudly honored the brave members of the Armed Services who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
