Meet our Communities in Schools liaison, Mrs. Doak, or the "school mama" as most students refer to her. For those who are not familiar with Communities in Schools, their mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. They also help link educators and parents with the community to bring resources into the schools to create a network of support that keeps kids in school and engaged in learning. If you feel that you or your child would benefit from Mrs. Doak's resources, please reach out to her by contacting the school.
Meet the smiling face behind taking our student's breakfast and lunch numbers every day!

Meet Ritchie County High School's new principal, Mr. Chris Wells.
Congrats to the 2023 @CollegeBoard’s National Recognition Program awardees, Hayden Bartlett and Ada Chen. They are two of 72,000 students from across the country who earned academic honors from College Board’s National Recognition Programs! They received the National Rural and Small Town Award. The National Recognition Programs honor the strong academic achievements of underrepresented students, and it's an easy way for students to showcase their hard work in high school. The programs not only benefit students, but also benefit colleges looking to recruit diverse, talented students.
Here's what's happening this week at Ritchie County High School.
