RSHS has evolved so much since my time there, and there are many more opportunities for students to expand their education and prepare for life after high school. RSHS has many more challenging classes that help students prepare for college, and more opportunities to be involved at school.

My experience at Rising Sun High School has been an awesome one. I love my classmates and the faculty is pretty helpful. Being in a small school has helped me a lot because i like the close relationships. The only thing I would change about Rising Sun High School is the variety of classes. There are not many different classes to take other than the very basic ones that every school offers. I would love to see more extra curricular activities also to get more kids involved.
