No surprise to us.
Their energy, problem-solving, and commitment to kids show up everywhere they go. Proud of this team and the work they’re doing to strengthen systems across our schools.
GMES Warriors are Soaring! We are excited celebrate the hard work of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in their Math Fluency Flight program! At the end of last month, 145 students were invited to take part in a well-deserved, celebratory recess! Why? Because they earned the prestigious "All 4 Dragons" for five or more weeks! That is some serious dedication to mastering math facts! Way to go, Warriors! Keep those math skills sharp! #RPSWarriors #MathFluency #StudentAchievement #SoaringToSuccess

A Deer-ly Special Moment at RPS! We had a very special visitor wander onto the high school side of our playground fence yesterday! Thank you, Game Warden Messbarger, for your quick response in safely guiding a deer visitor off our high school playground fence area this morning! Our kindergarteners were the best cheerleaders, giving the Warden a huge round of applause! The reaction was priceless. We truly have the best students at RPS! #WarriorActofKindness
We pause today to recognize the profound courage and commitment of all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. To the veterans, active military members, and military families of the Rochester School District and beyond—thank you for your service!
As a reminder, all RSD schools and district offices are closed today.
We encourage everyone to take a moment to honor a veteran today.

Join us in recognizing a dedicated and senior administrator for Principals Month: Kevin Wilson! Mr. Wilson serves our students in two vital roles—as the HEART Principal and as our driving force behind career readiness, the CTE Director. His commitment and passion for every student are felt across our district. We're so fortunate to have his leadership and expertise. Thank you, Mr. Wilson, for all the opportunities you are bringing to our students this year and for years to come!
Clayton Knutson and Cash Edminster advanced to Day 2 among 70 golfers from 13 schools, representing Rochester with pride. Cash finished in the top half of the field after making the Day 2 cut for the first time in his senior season, a great milestone!
Clayton, a freshman, followed his Day 1 score of 89 with a season-best 85, earning a spot in a one-hole playoff for the final berth to State. With the crowd watching, he drained a 15-foot putt to clinch his place at STATE this spring! Congratulations Clayton!!
Congratulations to the RHS Golf Team on a great season filled with growth, grit, and Warrior Pride!
The Rochester boys golf team competed in Day 1 of the 1A District Tournament at Tumwater Valley yesterday. It was a great day for golf with 70 athletes from 13 schools competing for a spot in the top 35 to advance to Day 2. We are excited to share that Clayton Knutson (89) and Cash Edminster (90) both qualified for Day 2! They are in great position to make a run at the top 14 for a state bid. A special acknowledgement to Boden Grimm and Darin Ware who had fantastic rounds, both shooting a 93 and missing the cut off by only one stroke. With big progress from Wesley Dahl and several promising underclassmen, the future is incredibly bright for Rochester Golf. Good luck to Clayton and Cash on the course today!
