Any requests for taking exams at an alternate time must be made to Ms. Govan. Parents should contact Ms. Govan by phone or email with an explanation of the reason why an alternate schedule is needed. Students who are sick or who have another excused absence during the week should plan to come on the make-up exam day, but any other kind of planned absence must be discussed with Ms. Govan as soon as possible.

Senior Items for the Class of 2025

Senior Yearbook Ads & Portraits

Senior Portraits

Seniors are invited to submit their own portraits for inclusion in the 2025 RCHS yearbook. Senior portraits can be taken by a professional or amateur photographer of your choice -- you can even take the photo at home just using your phone!

​

The portrait should focus on the student's face and the senior should be the only person pictured. Final photos will be presented in a rectangular format. Please email your digital senior portrait to yearbook@raleighcharterhs.org with the student's name in the subject line. Senior portraits are due by Friday, Dec. 20, 2024. If you have questions, please contact yearbook@raleighcharterhs.org.

​

Please note that seniors will be photographed on Picture Day for their student IDs. If seniors do not submit a separate portrait, we will use their photo from Picture Day in the yearbook.

​

Senior Ads

The yearbook staff is providing an opportunity for senior parents to feature their seniors in the yearbook. Ad sizes range from a full page to ¼ page. Ad options and instructions are linked here. To order a senior ad, complete these two steps:

  1. Send an email to yearbook@raleighcharterhs.org that includes the following: the name of your senior, the page size selected, the template letter selected, all pictures (as jpegs), all text, and any special requests that you have.

  2. Mail your payment to the school. We are accepting checks payable to RCHS. Please make sure to put "Yearbook ad, Student Name" in the memo line. Checks should be dropped off in the school office or mailed to school: 1307 Glenwood Ave Raleigh, NC 27605.

 

All senior ad materials are due Friday, Dec. 20, 2024. Yearbook ordering information will be available later in the school year.

Caps & Gowns

Caps and gowns must be ordered through the Jostens website - RCHS is not accepting payment for caps and gowns. The only required items are the cap, tassel, and gown. The cap and gown unit (which includes the tassel) is $37. Here is a direct link to the cap, tassel, and gown unit. If you need to order part of this package (only a tassel, for example), please call the Jostens Raleigh office at 919-789-8500. Financial assistance is available. Please contact Sarita McIver at smciver@raleighcharterhs.org if you need financial assistance.

Supporting Excellent Education at RCHS

Give a gift to the Phoenix Fund today!

We are committed to an educational model defined by small classes taught by experienced, passionate, dedicated teachers. We have seen great success using this model and it continues to be a critical part of our mission. However, these small classes and experienced teachers come at a significant financial cost. Our 2024-25 Phoenix Fund video explains our financial challenges and how you can help.

​

Contributions from our school community make it possible for us to provide excellent education to our students today and for years to come. 

 

Your gifts support Raleigh Charter’s mission of educating knowledgeable, thoughtful, contributing citizens of the world. Your donations give us the ability to: 

  • keep classes small 

  • attract and retain excellent teachers and staff 

  • provide our students and classrooms with essential resources such as Chromebooks and textbooks and basic supplies like dry erase markers and paper

  • pay for our mortgage and building maintenance
