Rockbridge County High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] History and Success
Rockbridge County High School was built in 1992 to include all students in Rockbridge County and Lexington City, Virginia in grades 9-12. This school consolidated the former Rockbridge High School, Lexington High School, and Natural Bridge High School. The school's mascot is the Wildcat.
In recent years the school has received much notoriety through its successful "Sierra Leone Project". Students voluntarily raised money and school supplies for a technical school in Kenema which had been destroyed in a civil war. Through RCHS's efforts, the school has been rebuilt and improved. Also, a bronze statue of Boy George was created in the cafeteria to serve as an inspiration to boys in the school.
Other school organizations include National Honor Society, Interact Club, the award winning school newspaper "The Prowler" and the nationally renowned "Trivium" yearbook.
