Board Meeting Spotlight: Adeline Nenzou, a senior at Royse City High School, has been selected by the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals (TASSP) as a member of the TASSP All-State Academic Team. This prestigious award was designed to recognize Texas high school seniors for their understanding academic achievements and focuses attention on the rewards of superior scholarship. Many outstanding senior students were nominated by their high school principals based on their scores on the SAT or ACT test, overall academic grade point average, pursuit of an advanced diploma, and other evidence of exceptional academic ability. Each student nominated was asked to write a monitored 300–500-word essay to submit with their application. From this group of outstanding young scholars, twenty were chosen for the TASSP All State Academic Team. As a member of the TASSP All-State Academic Team, Adeline will be invited to the TASSP Summer Workshop on June 13, 2024, to receive a $500 award.
Board Meeting Recap: For its exemplary record of leadership, service and activities that improve the school and community, the Royse City High School Student Council has been recognized as a 2024 National Gold Council of Excellence by the National Association of Student Councils (NASC). The NASC program is supported by its parent organization, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP). This is the third consecutive year for the council to earn this prestigious designation. In order to achieve this, council leaders and Advisor Leah Voth put together an extensive portfolio of their initiatives, events, and accomplishments that yielded positive impacts on their campus, community, district, and state. They presented this portfolio to building Principal Brooke McMaster, who then approved and endorsed them for the recognition. After a waiting period, they learned that the National Student Council had designated them, along with 72 other high schools in the state of Texas, as the most elite “Gold Council of Excellence” honorees.
Congratulations RCHS Val & Sal! Principal Brooke McMaster recognized the hard work and academic performance demonstrated by the Class of 2024’s top two graduating students. Valedictorian Alex Hall and Salutatorian Hayden Wofford were honored at a recent board meeting. #RCISDJoy

RCHS Teacher Debi Wood and a team of volunteers coordinated the 4th Annual Ran Man Field Day for students with diabilities. This event honors her late brother, Randy Stroder, who had Down's Syndrome.
