Some of the Teachers are amazing!!! I love the 3rd and 4th grade teacher at RHES!!!!!!! Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Joslin are amazing!!! Mrs. Muhelbaur is amazing as well. Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers are great as well... Sadly we had a bad experience with 2nd grade. But overall, I have moved so my children would be in the Zone for RHES, and EA COX..... LOVE the office staff as well!!!! Kepp up the great work guys... you are all amazing!!!!!
