Middle School
| | National Junior Honor Society 
On Monday, June 3, 13 students in the seventh and eighth grades were inducted into the Rocky Hill School chapter of the National Junior Honor Society. This is the first class of students for the Middle School chapter. Selection to the NJHS was based on academic standing, leadership and service to others.
Students needed to submit information documenting their work outside of RHS in the community. They also had to complete a community service project as a group this spring, for which the group baked healthy dog treats and sold them to the community, with the proceeds donated to a local animal shelter. Finally, each student completed a minimum of six hours of community service this spring.
Congratulations to:
Brianna Cardona '18, Hannah Lawson '18, Susanna Mello '18, Alec O'del '18, Georgia Saville '18, Jackson Hawkins '17, Megan Caruso '17, Chase Mulvaney '17, Anessa Petteruti '17, Danil Randall '17, Mikhail Randall '17, Abigail Siegel '17 and Matthew Thompson '17.
