Rocket Habit of the Month: Be Proactive! ✨🚀

This October, we’re focusing on Habit 1: Be Proactive — taking charge of your actions, words, and choices. Instead of reacting to what happens around you, choose a positive response and focus on what you can control.

We’re celebrating these RCMS students for showing up every single day in September! 🚀 Their dedication and commitment to learning earned them a $50 prize, thanks to the support of our incredible community sponsors. 💙

Attendance matters — and these Rockets are leading the way! 🚀

September was a month of showing up and shining bright at Rockcastle County High School! 🌟

Congratulations to our Perfect Attendance Winners of the Month — Rylee Miller, Karleigh Allen, Caleb Wilson, and Albert Barricks-Ketchum — for their outstanding commitment to being present every single day.

A huge thank you to our generous community partners — A & J Nicely Insulation, Community Trust Bank, Citizens Bank, and Rockcastle Farm Bureau — for supporting student success and recognizing the power of showing up! 🚀

KHSAA Semi-State Runner-Up ⛳️

Our Rock Golf Team competed with determination yesterday, earning a spot in the State Finals in Bowling Green! Only nine teams in Kentucky advance to this stage, and Rockcastle is proud to be among them. Go Rock! 🚀

October is National Principals Month — a time to recognize the exceptional leaders who guide, inspire, and empower our schools every single day. 🚀

Our principals lead with vision and purpose, nurture growth for students and staff, and help shape the future of our Rocket Leaders. Join us in celebrating their dedication and the lasting impact they make across Rockcastle County Schools!

🚀 Starting tomorrow, we’re launching a brand-new series: Rocket Habit of the Month! 🌟

Each month, we’ll spotlight one of the 7 Habits from the Leader in Me framework — powerful principles that help students build leadership, responsibility, and strong character. These habits connect directly to our Portrait of a Rocket work, guiding learners to lead themselves, collaborate with others, and grow continuously — in school and beyond.

Stay tuned as we explore each habit and highlight the many ways our Rockets put them into action every day! 🚀💙

Bus evacuation drills are scheduled for this Thursday, October 2nd. Please note that RCMS and RCHS will dismiss at 2:57 PM to accommodate these safety procedures. 🚌
