We are thrilled that the QC Chamber chose RHS Senior Jacob McLeod for its feature on work-based learning in the QC! Jacob attends the Area Career Center at UTHS in the Auto Mechanics Program. This year, he is completing an internship at Zimmerman Honda in Moline and has done an amazing job! His supervisor at Zimmerman said, "We cannot stress enough how well Jacob is doing in his role here and how much he continues to learn and impress us! He is eager, hardworking, incredibly bright, well-liked, and enthusiastic. If we could score him higher, we would! He truly exemplifies the kind of student this apprenticeship program was made for—and the ideal young employee, too!”
RHS is so proud of Jacob and for our school district's support of vocational programs such as the Area Career Center! Check out the video from the QC Chamber: https://youtu.be/H_PD8T29BZ0?si=4g4KnvHE8R6Sb6Kv

On March 4th, the Rockridge High School NHS hosted their Spring blood drive with ImpactLife. At the drive they were able to collect 39 donations, qualifying our school for the ImpactLife Lifesavings Grant. We will be granted $270 + $1 per donation for any donation above and beyond 20. Throughout the month of March, donors can go to any of the ImpactLife donor centers, donate blood, and credit Rockridge HS (group code 336) at registration. Your donation will be added to the blood drive’s total in hopes to increase our blood drive donation total and increase funds we earn for the grant. Grant funds will be put towards a charity chosen by the NHS students. Please consider donating.
