They will now be flown to Paris, France courtesy of Raytheon to compete in the
international fly‐off on June 24 at the Paris Le Bourget Air Show to compete against

Best Mission Design. RHHS Team 2: Jacob Glastad, Brandon Illig, Matt Ellis, David

Senior Parents: Changes have been made to this years’ senior awards/scholarship
ceremony. The senior awards will be scheduled with the other class awards on May
24th at 7 p.m. in the PAC. Scholarship announcements will be made on June 1st at
10:30 a.m. in the PAC. The change was made due to the length of the senior
awards/scholarship ceremony in past years. We invite community members and
parents to our ceremony and we need to be conscience of their time away from their
daily responsibilities at the work place. We hope this change will not inconvenience
any of you! If your student is receiving an award, they will be notified. Thank you!
