A message from Toby McCullough, the principal of Rossville Jr.-Sr. High School: “The RHS Senior Class of 2017 will probably be remembered most as being part of three state football championships but their accomplishments were much more than that. This class of 49 seniors will be receiving over $460,000 in scholarships. Eighty-eight percent of them are continuing their education. The remaining students have careers outlined in the workforce or the military. Seven students have already completed their certification at Washburn Tech.
This senior class has been one of our best academic classes in years. The average ACT score was one of the highest in the past ten years, with 33 percent of the students attaining a score of 25 or higher. Lead by senior leadership, RHS had state qualifiers and state placers in music, forensics, FBLA, FCCLA, and FFA. The dance team and cheer squad won numerous awards. Almost 80 percent of the students participated in three or more extracurricular activities each year throughout their high school careers. And last of all, no students in this class failed to meet their requirements to graduate - 100% graduation rate.”
