An ordinary high school becomes the center of international espionage in RHS Theatre's Spy School, a hilarious comedy running November 20-23. See if teenage Jane Doe can survive obnoxious classmates and the horrors of prom while trying to unmask a Russian spy!

Students from schools across the district came together for more than a year to create and sew their own regalia, which they will wear at this year's powwow.

Whether you are currently homeschooling, attending a private or charter school, or open enrolling, you are welcome here! Join us at Richfield High School for Explore RHS on Nov. 12!

From the soccer field to the science lab, Amelia Rheinhart is leaving her mark at Richfield High School. This fall, she’s headed to Gustavus Adolphus College to major in Biology—the first step on her path to becoming a genetic counselor. 

Jessica will attend Augsburg University this fall to study Communications and Creative Writing. Her goal? To become a journalist who sheds light on injustice—whether it’s exposing political corruption or reporting on human rights violations around the globe.

Warner offers this advice to underclassmen: “Take as many risks as you can, at least socially. Refusing to be as intense, honest and weird as you really are will only attract the wrong people. Don’t let others take your joy, no matter what.”

This fall, Dulce will begin her college journey at the University of St. Thomas, where she plans to major in Political Science and minor in Public Administration and Psychology. Her ultimate goal? To work at an immigration law firm, advocating for those who need it most.

During her time at RHS, Melanie was a force of nature—a wrestler, cheerleader, track athlete and a leader who shattered expectations and opened doors. She joined the wrestling team to create space for girls in male-dominated sports and proudly inspired others to step outside their comfort zones.

As she prepares to graduate, Janid reflects on how far she’s come. “I’m mostly proud of overcoming the fear of moving to a new country,” she says. “I never thought earning my high school diploma was possible because of the language barrier, but I did it.”

Rony offers incoming students this simple but powerful advice: “Be ready to try new things. Going out and doing something you’ve never done before can lead to a passion or friendship you never would’ve found otherwise.”

Kaylee’s advice for freshmen: “Talk to as many people as possible. High school isn’t always easy, and who you are changes a lot. Give yourself space to build new connections—those people will help carry you through the hard times.”

Kenzie’s advice for incoming freshmen: “Try anything new that interests you. You’ll find out so much about yourself. Don’t be afraid of change—it makes high school exciting. And most importantly, don’t give up on yourself. Each day is a chance to start fresh.”

Shayla's advice to freshmen: “Just pay attention and do the work—I wish I had taken that advice more seriously at first. And it’s okay to not know what you want to do in the future. You have time. Live in the moment, don’t miss out, and remember—you can have fun and still have time for school.”

With a sharp wit and an eye for meaningful experiences, Adriana is ready to take on whatever comes next (even if it’s joining the circus).

As a senior, Lucia offers this advice to incoming freshmen: "Get to class on time, turn in your work, and make good friends. Enjoy the four years of high school—they go by fast, but you will meet some amazing people."

After graduation, Christian will begin a painting apprenticeship, grow his car detailing business and stay focused on his ultimate goal of becoming a professional boxer.
