These successes come for a variety of reasons, including the resources needed for academic achievement through support services. The library features comfortable seating for study, research, leisure reading and browsing. Students have access to the library's collection of more that 12,000 volumes, as well as hundreds of periodicals, newspapers and other resources. Students also have access to microcomputers and the Internet in some classrooms. Extracurricular activities abound on the RTHS campus, with more than 20 different clubs that appeal to interests from chess to agriculture to athletics.
Students can participate in vocal and instrumental groups, theatre productions and art shows.
In all sports, RTHS produces competitive teams which exemplify the best in sportsmanship. RTHS athletics received an added boost in 1996 with the completion of an all-weather track that was supported entirely by contributions from local businesses, organizations and individuals. Teachers at RTHS are dedicated to teaching through an eagerness to help students learn and to work with individual students. The professional staff has created an educational climate that encourages fresh ideas and the development of improved instructional techniques. At the same time, the staff shows a respect for traditional concepts and methods which have enduring value.
