There are many awards given out at RRHS’ graduation each year, and students are encouraged to apply for all of those for which they qualify.  These applications are given out to our Secondary V students each year in their classrooms, with explanations.  The criteria for the awards vary greatly, and range from ‘continuing his/her education’, to pursing education in specific fields, to high achievement in a specific subject, to citizenship and involvement in organizations, etc.  Many of these awards are selected by a committee (see first application below).  Other awards are given by organizations external to RRHS.  These applications are listed below and must be sent directly to the addresses on the applications.  (Please note that there are deadlines for each application and that only those who apply are considered).
