Rockingham County High School will add a Criminal Justice pathway to its Public Safety Academy next year. The intent of the pathway is to grant students the possibility of completing several Rockingham Community College classes while still in high school that would count toward an Associate's Degree in Criminal Justice. (Above) A team of RCS staff members and RCC staff members met on October 21st to work out the plan. Notes from the meeting can be found here: Meeting Notes(I.A.3f)

Fire Fighting at RCHS
"Fire Technology is an important and popular class in our school as well as across our state. It is no secret that majority of rural fire departments are facing a shortage of volunteer firefighters. In the past several years the training requirements to become a firefighter have been on the rise, currently up to near 300 hundred hours of training. Most adults working jobs and raising families simply do not have time to complete the training. We have a very unique opportunity to offer these certifications to our students while they have the time to earn them. Hopefully helping to help with the shortage of firefighters across our state."

Excitment is growing around the prospects of the academy going forward. The leadership of Chief Evans and Ms. Tatum will be critical to the academy's continued growth; and with the addition of Ms. Webster the academy appears to be headed in the right direction.
