- Reviewed by Former Student on October 25, 2009

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I graduated in 1939. RHHS left me with great memories. Arts, Shakespeare, Math, English, etc. I see below, that today 1309 students seem to be in ninth grade and only 520 reach 12th grade. I was so sorry to see that. I have fond memories of the school and my teachers.
