Parents, Faculty, Staff, Advisory Board, Alumni, Students, and Community Friends,
 
Thank you for the time and effort you gave with testing and/or interviewing students Saturday, February 13 and Saturday, February 27.  Whether you were here one Saturday or both, I know that it was a sacrifice and I also know your commitment to this school is quite evident.  We had over 300 applicants to test/interview and believe me when I say that it was truly daunting.  It would have been more daunting had it not been for your invaluable assistance. 
 
Just know that our school and its programs could not continue to exist without you.  I know that the Class of 2014, which will enter this Fall, will be a stellar one because you were part of its selection process.
 
Again, thank you for your support.
 
Thomas H. Beatty

I have had several requests for information on how to make a financial donation directly to RCHS. This money will not get lost in the public school system, but will be put toward things that the students and school desperately need right now. (Remember when YOU were there? The school has never quite been run on a luxury budget.)

If you would like to help, from the smallest amount to your life's savings, you can do one of two things:

1.  Send a check to The Community Foundation and write RCHS Fund or Richmond Community High on the memo line. The address, for anyone who wishes to write a check, is: 

                                                    The Community Foundation
                                                    7501 Boulders View Dr.
                                                    Richmond, VA 23225-4047

2.  Go to the the TCF website at http://www.tcfrichmond.org and use the "give online" opton on the left hand side of the page.  Choose "Richmond Community High School Fund" from the drop down menu. There will be a slight charge by the credit card company if one uses the onliine option, which will show up in a slightly lower amount given to the RCHS Fund.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (Dave Gau, '85) and I will help find the answers!

Be sure to check out the list of reunions and events posted to the left in "Upcoming Events".  If you are a planner of a future event, be sure to read "Event planning information / add an event" for tips and information to make your event a success.
