We are beyond thrilled to announce the 2025-2026 RCHS Teacher of the Year, Angelica Plata and Support Staff of the Year, Jill Crowell!
Mrs. Plata is a powerhouse in our ELAR department, where she doesn't just teach English; she inspires a love for storytelling, critical thinking, and self-expression in every student who enters her classroom. Whether she’s breaking down complex texts or helping a student find their unique voice, her dedication to excellence and her heart for our Bulldogs shine through every single day.
A huge congratulations to Ms. Plata for this well-deserved honor! Thank you for your passion, your hard work, and for making RCHS such an incredible place to learn.
Mrs. Crowell represents excellence in all she does. Whether she’s solving a problem before it even starts, offering a kind word when someone needs it most, or working behind the scenes to make the impossible look easy, she does it all with a smile and a servant’s heart.
This recognition is so well-deserved. She doesn’t just support our school. She elevates everyone around her. She is indeed a facilitator of growth for our staff and a constant source of joy for our students.
Thank you for being the glue that holds us together and for representing the very best of our team. @RoyseCityISD #experienceRCISD #TeamRCHS

RCHS Emerging Leaders: Leading the Way!
We are bursting with pride for our incredible RCHS students who are representing us in the Royse City Tri-County Chamber Emerging Leaders program!
On Tuesday, February 17, these bright young minds took the stage during the State of the Chamber Address to present their community service project. Standing before city leaders, business owners, school district and campus staff, and community stakeholders, our students demonstrated the true meaning of leadership, service, and civic duty.
This is a training ground for the next generation of changemakers. Our students have spent months collaborating, planning, and executing a project designed to make a real-world impact right here in the Royse City community.
Be on the look out for more information as our emerging leaders serve the community! #experienceRCISD #TeamRCHS

Winter Storm Fern has been a great reminder of the importance of staying connected. In addition to our RCISD messaging system, we thought this was a good time to re-share our social media accounts and how to turn on notifications for each platform. Follow the arrows to make sure you never miss a post.
Be sure to also check out our campus Facebook pages to stay directly connected with your student’s learning community.

RCISD Safety Update: School Closure for Thursday
While today’s sunshine was a welcome sight, road conditions across our area remain unsafe in several rural locations, as well as the majority of our campus parking lots and bus drop-off areas. After careful assessment of all impacted areas, Royse City ISD will be closed tomorrow (1/29/26).
Our decision is based on concerns for bus routes that include secondary roads (neighborhood streets, bridges, and shaded areas) where melting has been minimal, as well as the safety of our student and parent drivers who may encounter icy or hazardous conditions during the morning commute and drop-off. Bus lanes and parking lots remain areas that have yet to thaw. Tomorrow’s forecast should provide us with the opportunity to address these spaces, as well as additional time for some of our less-traveled roadways to clear of ice.
As with the previous snow days this week, UIL district after-school activities for Thursday will be communicated by the athletics department in coordination with other districts in the area. We are looking forward to cheering on our Bulldogs very soon!
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding and patience as conditions continue to improve. We will keep families informed, and look forward to having students back on campuses as soon as it is safe to do so.

RCISD Update: Monitoring the Conditions for Thursday
Happy Wednesday, RCISD Family! We are all TEAM SUNSHINE today as we continue to monitor conditions and watch the weather unfold. In addition to working with local law enforcement, our RCISD Driving Team is assessing the safety of our roads, neighborhood streets, and parking lots. Although we are seeing progress on our main routes, we are waiting to see what Mother Nature will do to thaw the remaining spaces left under Winter Storm Fern’s ice to allow for safe transportation.
In the meantime, our Operations Team is doing a fantastic job of making sure campuses are safe and ready for everyone to return. Join us in sending them a shout-out by posting a comment on our social media update!
To RCPD, Fate PD, and our RCISD Driving and Operations Teams…you are our winter weather heroes! We appreciate you and your dedication to keep our kids and staff safe.
Stay tuned for updates. We will provide a decision regarding Thursday's status by 6:00 p.m.
