Congratulations Mr. Neely
Congratulations Ms. Simpson
Last night, we had the pleasure of celebrating an outstanding group of students at our National Junior Honor Society Induction Ceremony! We are so proud of these students for their hard work, academic achievements, leadership, and commitment to serving others. What an amazing group of young people we have at Ruckel Middle School! It is exciting to see the character, dedication, and potential of our future leaders. Congratulations to all of our new NJHS inductees! We can’t wait to see the great things you accomplish!
“Art club is cancelled this week, 10/28. It will resume regular meetings next week one 11/4!”
