Greeting RHMS Community,
Greeting RHMS’ Community,
I humbly return to serve as RHMS’ principal. I am overjoyed and filled with excitement as I enter my third year as RHMS’ principal . We have made many strides as a school community but recognize that more improvements are needed. I look forward to working with our students, staff, and community to continue co-creating a school community that is inclusive of all perspectives, values, and identities. A school community where all students can strive to be their best selves.
Tôi khiêm tốn trở lại phục vụ với tư cách là hiệu trưởng của RHMS. Tôi vô cùng vui mừng và phấn khởi khi bước vào năm thứ ba làm hiệu trưởng của RHMS. Là một cộng đồng trường học, chúng ta đã đạt được nhiều tiến bộ và còn nhiều cải tiến phải thực hiện. Tôi mong muốn được làm việc với học sinh, nhân viên và cộng đồng của chúng ta để tiếp tục tạo ra một cộng đồng trường học bao gồm mọi quan điểm, giá trị và bản sắc. Một cộng đồng trường học nơi tất cả học sinh có thể phấn đấu để trở thành phiên bản tốt nhất của chính mình.

Two exceptional PPS educators, Ricardo Barber and Hang Jones, were recently named OnPoint Educators of the Year for 2025.
As part of this prestigious honor, both teachers will have their rent or mortgage paid for an entire year, and their schools also receive a $2,500 donation.
Ricardo Barber teaches third grade at Faubion, and Hang Jones serves as a social worker at Marysville Elementary.
The OnPoint Prize for Excellence in Education celebrates educators who embrace innovative teaching techniques that ignite enthusiasm in their students.
Congratulations to Ricardo Barber and Hang Jones! And thank you both for everything you do to make a difference in the lives our students.
The assignment their teacher gave them was simple – make a short film that begins with a phone call and ends with someone hanging up. Benson first-year students Dylan Martinez-Torres and Dariel Soriano Zamora ran it all the way to a small city populated by two very big and rather iconic monsters – Godzilla and Hedora.
The result, Sorry, Wrong Number, is one of the more than 90 films entered into the annual Best of PPS Film Festival. The festival is a celebration of exceptional student filmmaking that includes a showcase at the historic Hollywood Theatre.
The fourth annual installment of the festival took place on May 21 and included a screening of 13 standout films. The films came from all over PPS and ran the gamut from Dylan and Dariel’s monster short to documentaries, film noir, and broadcast journalism.
If you are a passionate student or community member that wants to make a difference at PPS, apply to join the Climate Crisis Response Committee! This is a committee that reports to the PPS Board of Education.
On the committee you will learn about how PPS is making progress towards our climate justice and sustainability policies, provide input and recommendations to the PPS Board on how to better support PPS staff as we advance these policy goals, and connect with other passionate members of our PPS community from diverse backgrounds, knowledge areas, and lived experiences.
No previous professional experience in climate change or sustainability required! Students can apply via this form. Community members can apply here.
Deadline to apply: June 6.
Earthstock 2025 was a huge success!
Each year, special education students from across the region gather at Portland's Crystal Ballroom for a truly unique and uniquely joyful high school dance.
Earthstock began in 1992 at the request of a young student who was confined to a wheelchair and was disappointed he couldn’t attend the high school dances because of transportation issues. There were 60 kids at the first event. Earthstock now entertains more than 700 students, staff and volunteers, and is rapidly becoming one the largest events of its kind in the country.
