Dear Parents and Guardians,

The events of March 14, 2025, will remain etched in the memories of our community for years to come, as an EF2 tornado caused widespread destruction throughout our area. Homes and businesses were lost, and our schools sustained significant damage. However, true to our community spirit, we came together to support one another in the recovery efforts.

I want to take a moment to highlight the remarkable contributions of our student body, particularly the community outreach led by JT Rogers, Lillian Webb, and Hadyn Brooks. They organized student volunteers to help clear the debris left in the wake of the storm. On the first day alone, 200 students volunteered, and their dedication continued strong throughout the following week. Our faculty and staff also played a vital role by providing trucks, trailers, and chainsaw operations as we worked diligently to restore our community. Additionally, they were instrumental in the relocation of Wyman Elementary to the future site of the Rolla Public Schools Early Childhood facility. I could not be prouder to be part of such a selfless and generous community.

As we move forward, the remainder of the school year is somewhat compressed due to the lost instructional days. I have communicated with the RHS student body, faculty, and staff, reminding them of the principles necessary to protect our remaining instructional time. Please note that the final days of school have not changed.

Here are some important dates for the remainder of the school year: (Please watch your ParentSquare account for more information.)

It will be a whirlwind of activity between now and the end of the school year, so please keep an eye on our daily announcements for continual updates.

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our students and community.

Warm regards,

Corey Ray, Ed.D.
