Rutherford High School International Baccalaureate

Our students just came back from their annual Physics trip to Universal with Mrs. Morris! Students had the opportunity to experience real-world applications of force, motion, energy, and momentum — all while enjoying some of their favorite rides!

So proud of our students for representing Rutherford so well and embracing both the academic challenge and the adventure! 🎢🐏

Check out some of the pictures from the trip below. ⬇️
