The 2020-21 school year was one with many challenges brought on by the pandemic but it was also a year filled with triumphs and successes. All RPA students should be incredibly proud of themselves for persevering through the difficulties and finding new ways to shine this past year. 

RPA families have been amazing throughout the pandemic and the last year. They’ve partnered with us every step of the way and were creative and helpful about finding ways to keep their students connected and engaged in an abnormal school year.   

From stage to the classroom, RPA students did not let a pandemic get in the way of their success, winning local, statewide, national and international awards and recognition. 

We cannot say enough about the amazing dedication of our staff this past year. We mostly tell the success stories of students, but it is our hardworking educators and support staff who put in the time and effort to help students realize success and achieve their maximum potential. 

Let’s look back at some of the many accomplishments of RPA students and staff from the 2020-21 school year:
