Cardinal Corner
The school year is rapidly coming to an end. There are some key things coming up that I wanted to inform you of, as well as new things coming up next year. The next big thing is our AP (Advanced Placement) tests. During the first weeks of May, students will be completing these tests to earn college credits. We offer AP exams in 5 subjects: Physics, Statistics, Music Theory, Biology, and Precalculus. Next year we are adding English Language for students in grade 11 and English Literature for students in grade 12. This is in addition to the seven college classes we offer right on campus at RVHS. Students can earn up to 55 college credits without leaving our building!

As Steve Martin famously said, “Some people have a way with words. Others… no have way.” I fancy myself in the first camp. I’m kind of a word guy. I love the way words look. I love the way words sound. I love the way words land. I love when you put words together and the combination is like a perfect martini. It elevates, invigorates, and you shouldn’t need that many to get where you’re going.
