Richards High School gives students many resources for all types of things. They have counselors for AP classes that really help the students striving for higher education. They also have a great variety of classes. Me personally, I enjoyed being a part of the three Drafting/CAD courses that were offered at Richards High School, they introduced me to what I am studying in college at the moment, engineering.

Overall Richards is an incredible school, where there is much diversity and inclusiveness. The parents are very involved in school life; constantly volunteering and helping the school. Through the teaching and in the classroom you can sense the strong love of the job that the teachers give off. Always willing to help extra, and pushing students to success in the classroom.
