The best part about Richton High School is the atmosphere and the amazing teachers. The worst part of Richton High School the lack of money. I would love to have the same welcoming atmosphere in college.

I have attended Richton School District for all of my life basically. I only left twice for short periods of time, and I always came back. I came back because it was home. Richton is one big family, and that is what I love about it. Richton will always be home.

Most teachers know who the students are on a personal level because this town is so small and it helps the students because it feels like the teachers genuinely care for them.
