Yearbook
Rockford High School creates a fantastic yearbook each year, and students have the opportunity to place an order for the 2025-26 yearbook now. Please note - high school yearbooks include photographs from prom and graduation, and therefore, arrive in the fall of the following school year. This is different than middle school, so we try to point it out before you order.
If you're interested, please visit yearbookforever.com. In the school name field, enter Rockford High School (not Freshman Center) and be sure to choose Rockford High School in Michigan. As with school portraits, families with multiple high school students might consider purchasing them together to save on the service fee - speaking from experience :).
RHS Athletic Office
Consider purchasing a student pass for your student by CLICKING THIS LINK. Student passes are only $25 so it's a great deal for any student who enjoys attending the games.
LOCKERS
Rockford Freshman Center students keep backpacks, bags, purses, etc. in their assigned lockers from 7:40-2:30 each day. Passing time between classes is adequate to exchange supplies at their locker. Freshman students with RHS classes are permitted to take their backpack to Rockford High School 10-12 if necessary.
Students may not trade or share lockers with a classmate. If their locker doesn't work, a student should report the problem to the main office and we will work on a repair and/or reassignment as needed.
Reporting Attendance
RFC and RHS require a parent/guardian phone call for absence reporting. Please do not send your student with a note. This process helps staff verify the authenticity of the report. Please call 616-863-6352 to report an absence, late arrival or early departure.
High school students may sign themselves in and out once a parent has called. Parents/guardians are not required to enter the building to sign the student out. This is also different than the process used in RPS middle schools.
Parent Advisory Council
Rockford Freshman Center and Rockford High School welcome parents to attend and participate in Parent Advisory Council. PAC meetings are held several times each year and provide an opportunity for parents/guardians to receive updates about high school activities. Meetings are held virtually in Google Meet and are recorded for those who cannot attend on scheduled date(s) and/or time. Please plan to join us our first meeting on December 2 at 9:00 a.m. The link for the Google Meet will be provided in advance. Thanks!
