STAR ACADEMY
STUDENTS OF THE MONTH*

*Most Improved (MI) / In order to become a STAR Student of the Month (SoM), the student must demonstrate a dedication to academics, courtesy and respect.

 

The RHS STAR Academy is a small learning academy. STAR is an acronym for the Academy's motto: "Start Today, Achieve Results".

The goal of the program is to offer students an atmosphere that will promote academic success, while addressing individual needs and learning styles. The program has been designed to focus on its students' positive attributes and to empower students to become productive, contributing members of society. The STAR Academy seeks to help its students develop their unique gifts and potential and provides a learning environment that fosters five STAR goals: good attendance, a positive attitude, academic success, the ability to be self-motivated, and good citizenship skills.
