Renaissance High School & Adult Education -

♻️ Recycling Challenge Update ♻️ Thank you to the Trojan community for your support of the Recycling Challenge program! With your support, in the last three years we have collected enough plastic to receive seven new benches throughout the district - THANK YOU! We would like to share an update regarding the program, as there have been recent logistical changes. Beginning in May, the district will no longer serve as a drop-off location for plastic recycling. If you have plastic donations, they can be taken to other local sites for recycling.

Before Christmas break, the staff at Renaissance High School participated in the "Old School Holiday" game created by Class Team Building. In this fun activity, staff members who discovered the hidden picture of mistletoe in the school were invited to nominate a charity of their choice for a raffle organized by Class Team Building. For their charity, the RHS team overwhelmingly selected Christian Neighbors. Recently, they were thrilled to learn that their nomination won a $1,000 prize, and today, the team had the pleasure of presenting the check to Christian Neighbors!
