2025-2026 School Year Update
Summer News Update from Principal Ricky Clark
Welcome to the 10-12 Building! Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year!!
We hope that you are able to take some well deserved time to relax and unwind over the summer months. As we inch toward the first day of school on August 25, we are excited to partner with your family to help your student have a smooth and positive transition to the start of the school year. As you read through this initial newsletter, PLEASE reach out (using e-mail, phone call or stopping in) if you have questions, comments, concerns or just need to chat. We will have another newsletter come out in the beginning of August with more specific information related to the start of the school year. Our first goal is to help your family have a successful transition to high school. We are here to serve you!
All the best!
Ricky Clark, Principal

Bring Your Own Device:
Rockford High School students have the opportunity to continue learning with the support of technology, often called 1 :1. Rockford elementary and middle schools issue a device to every student, but at high school, students are encouraged to provide their own device if possible. Students who do not bring their own device will have the opportunity to use a school-issued Chromebook. There are insurance options for families who use a school device.
High School Athletics Fall sports begin prior to the start of school and athletes are required to have an updated physical on file prior to participation. Please visit the athletic webpage for contact information if your student is interested in high school athletic programs
