Important RHSA Update: Last Week of School and Next Steps

Actualización importante de RHSA: Última semana de clases y próximos pasos

Some walks mean a little more...

🎓 Former Mary Munford Elementary students walked the halls of their elementary school one last time—this time as graduating seniors.

The same hallways that once helped shape them now get to celebrate who they’ve become. Teachers cheered, little students looked on in awe, and the graduates got to catch up with their former classmates.

No matter where life takes them next, they will always be part of the RPS family. 💙🧡💚

Saturday’s Student Celebration was a beautiful reminder of what’s possible when brilliance is nurtured, encouraged, and allowed to bloom. 🌸

With this year’s theme, Blooming with Brilliance, we proudly honored our Valedictorians, Salutatorians, Maggie Walker scholars, and Scholastic Standout honorees from grades PK–12—students whose hard work, leadership, creativity, and perseverance continue to inspire our entire RPS community. ✨

Congratulations to each of our honorees, and enormous gratitude to their families, teachers, and special friends who pour into them each and every day. Your future is bright, and we can’t wait to see all that continues to bloom. 💙🧡💚

As the number of multilingual learners in Richmond Public Schools continues to grow, so does our commitment to ensuring every student has the support they need to thrive.

Through a new partnership with Virginia Commonwealth University, RPS will work alongside researchers, educators, and families to strengthen family engagement, expand access to opportunities, and improve outcomes for multilingual students — beginning in the critical middle school years.
