Coach Gilliland’s Biology students brought anatomy and engineering together by building cardboard hands using straws for bones and string for tendons. By pulling the strings, students modeled how muscles contract to move joints, just like in the human body. The project highlighted the Flexor Digitorum, the most powerful and bulky muscle in the forearm, which is responsible for bending the fingers. RHS students demonstrated how this muscle pulls on tendons in the forearm to move the finger bones, turning a complex concept into an interactive learning experience. #GoSenators #WeAreTheSenators #PCSSDproud

The RHS Art Department hosted a pop-in art exhibit outside the choir concert for guests and parents to enjoy! 🎨
The display featured an amazing variety of 2D and 3D artwork from the classes of Mr. Swaty, Mr. Van Horn, Mrs. Tabor, Mr. Baker, and Ms. McGarry. From resin casting and painting to wheel throwing and more, the range of mediums was impressive. Our students’ creativity and talent were truly on full display—what a remarkable showcase of their hard work!
