AND THEY'RE OFF!
During the first week of school, old friendships were rekindled and new friendships were created. After a briefly quiet period of time on the campus, we are excited to see the campus come alive with the buzzing activities of students and faculty.
We're all looking forward to an enriching 2014-15 academic year and are thrilled to welcome 57 talented new students to the Rocky Hill School community!
