General Announcements
(New) With spring break fast approaching, we wanted to send out a reminder of the Father/Son series of events centered around Tony Dungy’s book, Uncommon. Although we have called this a book study, this won’t be your traditional finger sandwich and tea sit-around-the-living room-dissecting-literature-Oprah-Winfrey event! This six-week initiative is aimed at providing weekly events for fathers and sons focused on the concepts Tony Dungy outlines in his book as we provide opportunities for fathers/sons/mentors/young men to enhance our roles as leaders in the Heath High School community. Due to the numerous requests, we have changed the date to meeting on Thursday evenings. If you are interested in participating, please call Tammy Dilmore at 469-698-2614. The deadline to register is Thursday, March 10. (New) Rockwall-Heath competed in the RHS UIL Academics Invitational Meet this past Saturday, Feb. 26.
