With the recent increase in illnesses, we want to be mindful of everyone’s health and do our part to help prevent the spread of sickness. We understand that illnesses can be difficult to manage, but we kindly ask for your cooperation in keeping students home if they are experiencing a fever, diarrhea, or vomiting. Taking these precautions helps protect our students, staff, and families and allows everyone to stay as healthy as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our school community healthy!

Ante el reciente aumento de enfermedades, queremos velar por la salud de todos y poner de nuestra parte para ayudar a prevenir su propagación. Entendemos que gestionar una enfermedad puede ser complicado; por ello, les pedimos su colaboración para mantener a los estudiantes en casa si presentan fiebre, diarrea o vómitos. Tomar estas precauciones ayuda a proteger a nuestros alumnos, al personal y a las familias, permitiendo que todos nos mantengamos lo más saludables posible.

¡Gracias por su comprensión y por ayudarnos a mantener saludable a nuestra comunidad escolar!

🐾 A New Chapter for Bobcat Stadium: Investing in Students, School Pride, and Community

Rio Hondo High School proudly celebrated the opening of our new turf and updated sports complex with a special ribbon cutting ceremony at Bobcat Stadium. This moment represented much more than improvements to an athletic facility. It marked an investment in our students, our programs, and the entire Rio Hondo community.

For our students, the updated complex provides a space where they can compete, perform, practice, grow, and create lasting memories. Whether they are athletes, band members, cheerleaders, student organizations, or supporters in the stands, Bobcat Stadium is a place where students experience teamwork, discipline, leadership, and a strong sense of belonging.

The impact reaches well beyond the field. Bobcat Stadium brings together students, families, staff, alumni, and community members and creates a shared space where Rio Hondo pride and tradition can continue to grow. These improvements strengthen the connection between our school and community while providing future generations of Bobcats with opportunities to represent Rio Hondo with pride.

We are grateful to everyone whose support, planning, and commitment helped make this project possible. The ribbon cutting was not simply the opening of a new field. It was a celebration of what can be accomplished when a community comes together for its students.

As we look toward the future, we remain Committed, Aspiring, Transformative, and Successful. CATS.


New field. Stronger together. A brighter future for Bobcat Nation. 🐾💛🖤
