Last Friday, high school students attended the Mary Greeley Healthcare Career Day. Students had the opportunity to tour Rehab and Wellness, the West Tower, Radiology, Cath Lab, and Wound Clinic. In between tours, students participated in hands-on activities with the skills lab, respiratory therapy, and active rehab/diabetic education. We were treated to lunch and a Q&A session with MGMC leader's. We also got to see so many familiar faces! A huge thank you to Hannah and Tammy with Mary Greeley for such an immersive experience! #SailNorse

Calling all Norsemen: Roland-Story Key Club is hosting our annual RED OUT on Tuesday, February 3rd, at the home varsity basketball games against West Marshall. There will be information from the American Heart Association about heart attacks and stroke, along with a CPR learning station. To help raise money for more research and advancement of cardiovascular treatments, we will have more than 10 gift baskets to raffle, donated from area businesses, and a free throw contest for all ages at halftime of the boys game. All proceeds will benefit the AHA. ❤️🏀🖤 #SailNorse

Roland-Story School will be CLOSED on Friday, Jan. 23rd due to Wind Chill Warning.

Congratulations to all students who earned First Semester Honor Roll recognition! #SailNorse

The goal of Ethics Bowl is to work together to develop a better understanding of these topics and issues. Students participating include Josey Larson, Charlie Hall, Toni Manning, Eli Oetker, Haylee Guerrero, and Gabrielle Muller.
