Community Youth Foundation receives generous donation

The Community Youth Foundation would like to extend a huge thank you to the late Paul and Marvel Pryor as well as their children (Joseph, Anne, Michael, Patrick, and Matthew) for the generous donation to the youth scholarship fund. The family recalls over 60 years of enjoyment at both the Memorial Athletic Field and at the local swimming pool, which is a memory all families remember for a lifetime. Getting the #1 pass at the pool was the families goal year after year. The Pryor children spent countless hours playing as well as working various summers at the pool which was walking distance from where they grew up. This donation will supply scholarships for years to come and will allow many participants the capabilities to take lessons and purchase pool passes at a reduced rate. If you have any questions concerning the Community Youth Foundation and its scholarship requirements, please contact Ross at the RACC at 507-616-7444.

Cardinal Corner

One of the most exciting times of the year for me is registration for classes. Why is this exciting? Because the counselors, office staff, teachers, and I put in a tremendous amount of effort to create and offer classes that are going to prepare our students to be College and Career Ready. College and Career Readiness is the heart of what we stand for at Redwood Valley High School. This could be a two- or four-year degree, a certification program, the military, or right into the workforce. Whatever future students desire, we are providing opportunities to get them ready.
