ROCHELLE – It may seem early, but Rochelle Township High School recently hosted the annual eighth grade curriculum night.
During Monday night’s RTHS board meeting, principal Chris Lewis spoke about the eighth-grade curriculum night and how the staff prepares incoming students for choosing their schedules as they make the transition into RTHS.
During his report he also discussed this week’s finals dates and the winter break that would follow, from after school Dec. 20 until students return on Jan. 7 as well as the student celebration for the graduating seniors who achieved the title of student scholars.
“These are designated Illinois state scholars because they rank in the top 10 percent of the 2020 Illinois High School. They are selected based on their SAT scores as well as the six-semester class rank,” Lewis explained.
RTHS had seven graduating seniors rank as student scholars this year — Margaret Duval, Sean Flanagan, Cara Forsberg, Charles Jandak, Micah Koziol, Madelyn Ohlinger and Morgan Schabacker.
During the special report section of the meeting, the districts updated ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Rating) was discussed. For the second year in a row RTHS received a commendable rating, which is the second tier from the top, right under exemplary. This means that the school has at least a 67 percent graduation rating and no underperforming sub groups.
