RCS HOSA sponsored an American Red Cross blood drive today. 29 units of blood were collected. Each unit of blood saves 3 lives. That’s 87 lives saved! Many thanks to the students, parents, staff, and community for making the blood drive a success.




Melanie Winstead has officially earned the ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) + ASCD (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) Certified Instructional Leader designation!

Management, Improving Teaching Quality, and Curriculum Development.

Last Thursday, Ms. McCormick’s chemistry class had Kara Price, a guest speaker from NC State’s College of Textiles, come and talk to students about the differences between natural and synthetic fibers. They then got to perform a fiber identification burn test on several different types of fibers to try and identity whether they were natural or synthetic fibers. The students (and Principal Martin) enjoyed this hands-on experience!




Madeline Watson was voted the Daughters of the Revolution (DAR) Good Citizen for the RCS Class of 2026 last week. This award recognizes and rewards high school seniors who possess the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism.
Seniors were nominated for the award by teachers, and then those nominees were voted on by the senior class. Watson received the most votes from her peers, earning her the award. Congratulations, Madeline!

Open Enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year is now officially underway! We are once again partnering with Lotterease to offer an online application/enrollment process. The link to submit an application is on the Enrollment Page of our website (https://www.roxborocs.org/page/enrollment). We will be accepting applications for the 2026-2027 school year from October 7, 2025 to March 3, 2026. If we have more applications than openings, we will hold an online lottery on March 5, 2026. Please help us spread the word to friends, family, and neighbors with children who will be in 6th-12th grade next year.
A few important reminders
* Students who are currently attending Roxboro Community School DO NOT need to re-apply to attend next school year.
* Siblings of current students or alumni DO need to complete an application to attend RCS next year. They are given preference in the lottery because they are the sibling** of a current student or alumni. But they DO have to apply by the March 3, 2026 deadline or the Lotterease computer system will automatically place them on a waiting list. [**"Sibling" includes brothers or sisters, half-siblings, step-siblings, or foster siblings living in the same household.]
* Paper copies of the 2026-2027 application are available for anyone who does not have internet or computer access.
Please visit the Enrollment page on our website (https://www.roxborocs.org/page/enrollment) for more information, or contact RCS Registrar, Jodi DeVillier, at 336.597.0020, ext 322 or devillierjh@roxborocs.org if you have questions or concerns.
