Rocky Hill School Small School | Big Opportunities
Annual Report 2014-15
ANNUALREPORT Peter M. Branch, Head of School
As we entered into school year 2014-15, we were excited to celebrate the School’s 80th year. We launched the I RHS campaign, asking students, parents, alumni, faculty, and friends to show their love for the School. You shared testimonials and messages, gave generously, supported the Fall Classic and Above & Beyond Gala, and donated hundreds of volunteer hours to ensure the School’s success. Together we dedicated the Land of Fires Nature Trail; saw our salt marsh restored by Save The Bay; entered into a global educational partnership with the National Institute of Technology in Beijing; and cheered on our many successful student athletes, artists, and performers. We also lost a dear faculty member in Terry Coes and we came together to celebrate his life and pay tribute to his lifelong commitment to his students and teaching. I am extremely proud of our community and the legacy of Rocky Hill School. This Annual Report of Giving paints a picture of how deeply invested we all are in the life and success of this Rhode Island institution. Rocky Hill School has a vibrant and close-knit community. We are nimble and quick to respond to our students’ needs. As we look to the next 80 years, we must continue to embrace and live up to our identity as a Small School with Big Opportunities. While our size at times can limit us, by and large it is what makes us special. Our families, student, faculty, and alumni have so many opportunities to engage in the life of the School. It will be this personal investment and collective goodwill that propels Rocky Hill School into the future. So I ask to continue to share your love for the School, answer the call to action as a donor, volunteer, or fan, and never forget why you RHS!
