Ourdances are designed with fun in mind, as well to create asafe environment for students.Student School ID cards must be presented before astudent will be admitted to the dance. If you come tothe dance without an ID, you will have to wait until atleast 9 PM for a check to be done on Schoolmaster. If astudent has lost their ID, they can make arrangements inthe main office to get another one before the dance.For Homecoming and Prom, guests from other schoolswill be allowed to attend with a student enrolled atRHS. However, the guests must register to get a guestpass in the main office and bring their school ID, or ifthey are not a student, they must have a current pictureID before they will be admitted.
