Raymond Central Public Schools -

The Mustang Wrestlers are on fire tonight; our boys dominated at Norris, winning two duals and staying perfect, while the girls wrestled at home. With two more wins each, Sean is nearing 100 victories and Wyatt is getting close to 150. The JV wrestled well for the Blue too. Awesome job boys.

Here is the Livestream for tonight's 6:00 PM School Board Meeting. We are going back to YouTube for our livestream of the board meeting to hopefully simplify.

Mrs. Parks brought her early childhood class to preschool today for observations. That quickly turned into hands on engagement. For both preschoolers and high schoolers this is the best way to learn and experience the world they are surrounded by. We are excited to partner with the class and get more learning opportunities for our Bigs and Littles.

RCHS Blood Drive

Raymond Central High School Student Council is hosting a community blood drive in partnership with the Nebraska Community Blood Bank on Friday, January 16, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This is an opportunity to give blood where it counts. The Bloodmobile will be in the RCHS parking lot.

And there it is! The lady Mustangs take down the Eagles of Arlington at home. A solid second half lifts the Mustangs to victory.

I love walking our hallways at Raymond Central. Such class! There is always something to see.

The student body and staff have selected two substitutes for recognition this Friday, and we would like to extend our congratulations to Mr. Randy R. and Mr. Jim M. for their outstanding contributions to the school. Although I was unable to capture the moment on video, the announcement was met with enthusiastic applause from the students. One of the substitutes was honored yesterday, and I managed to take a photo.

Our inaugural Friday celebration of the school year was a huge success, with thirteen family members being honored for their dedication and hard work. We also took the opportunity to welcome three student teachers and profile our school's programs, complemented by musical performances from our band. The event's climax was the announcement of Mr. Jim Murphy as an award winner, which drew a rapturous response from the student body. This achievement is historic for our school, as Jim is one of two substitutes to have been nominated, underscoring our commitment to recognizing the contributions of every individual.

Congratulations to the Academic Honor Roll recipients for the fall semester 2025!

Action from the High Plains tourney in Columbus. The ladies took the mat and have been very competitive.
