Rolling Meadows High School's EmpowHERment Initiative Club is supporting Home of the Sparrow, a nonprofit organization that helps women and children experiencing homelessness achieve long-term independence. From now until March 17th, we will be collecting essential items that will go to families in need helping them feel safe, supported, and cared for. As a school and community this is your chance to make a difference in someone else's life! Donate items on the checklist linked below to your 6th Block teacher. The 6th block class with the most donations will receive donuts for the whole class! Let’s support those in need within our community. Your small donation can make a huge difference in someone’s life!

Rolling Meadows Orchesis proudly presents Unveiled. This show will run March 5th, 6th, and 7th at 7 p.m. Tickets are available through RMHS GoFan. We hope to see you there!

RMHS Students Plant 19 Trees on Campus
On Wednesday, September 10th, our RMHS students proudly partnered with Openlands to plant 19 new trees right here on our campus! This project was a fantastic example of students giving back to their school and community while building environmental stewardship.
A huge shout-out goes to Kirsten Eubanks, Karina Perales, and Michelle Gammelgaard for leading the way with our FFA students and many others who stepped up to make this project a success. Their guidance and leadership helped create a lasting impact that will be felt for years to come.
Check out THIS VIDEO of their incredible work!

She was selected through a very competitive process to play the Keyboard 1 part in the pit orchestra! This is a huge accomplishment and honor for Sydney! Way to go! #MustangPride
