Home & Workplace Maintenance Class includes learning hands-on skills, and also includes career exploration! Students are using Schoolinks to complete their bingo card as they explore apprenticeships, trade schools, and 2 & 4 year colleges that interest them, and what steps they need to accomplish in high school to get there!
Algebra 2 students collected data and used linear regression to estimate the number of rubber bands they would need to give Barbies a bungee jump ride as close to the floor as possible without hitting the floor. The closest group was within an inch of the floor!

We are thrilled to announce that Rochelle Township High School has received a generous donation from the EKGs for EGK Foundation!
Thanks to a grant we secured, we now have an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) 🫀directly located inside our main gym. This addition is a vital step in ensuring the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and all athletic attendees. We are deeply grateful for the support from the EKGs FOR EGK Foundation, helping us create a safer environment for our school community.
This means we have 14 AEDs across our campus now! We are heart safe designated and fully prepared!
