Raleigh Charter High School challenges college-bound students in a creative and supportive atmosphere to become knowledgeable, thoughtful, contributing citizens. Interested in applying to RCHS? We, of RCHS, intend to cultivate the understanding and practices that sustain individual self-determination and community self-government. We have adopted the following principles in order to ensure that all who pass through our halls can imagine, create, and govern a more perfect world. We believe: That a foundation of knowledge and ethics must precede all intellectual inquiry; That if we encourage self-awareness build and maintain local communities develop an awareness of our membership in ever larger communities engage in common enterprises with people who are different accommodate and address conflict and change facilitate problem solving foster balance and moderation in life and take ownership and responsibility for learningWe shall become good citizens. Raleigh Charter High School feels strongly that our school must take a clear stand in support of antiracism and equity. We affirm our commitment to dismantling systemic racism. We stand with our Black students. Black Lives Matter. We invite all members of our school community to join us in these ongoing efforts. Working with the RCHS Board and Faculty Diversity and Inclusion Committees, the Raleigh Charter High School Administration and Board of Directors shares the following: In this moment of reckoning, our nation's history of systemic racism has come into the spotlight. We recognize that historically, schools have engaged in and reinforced inequitable practices. Our school is committed to evaluating our current practices and bringing them into alignment with antiracist work. We view this antiracist work as fundamental to our mission of educating knowledgeable, thoughtful, contributing citizens. The purpose of this statement is to lay out our commitments to continuing and strengthening our work towards equity, inclusion, and antiracism. We will work towards antiracist teaching in terms of both our pedagogy and our course content. We will engage in ongoing analysis of content within departments, with special attention to the inclusion of voices that have been systematically silenced. We will provide diversity and sensitivity training as a fundamental part of professional development for faculty and staff. We will provide ongoing support for our Black, LatinX, and Native American students and families, in particular, because they are underrepresented in our school community. This includes sustaining and creating safe spaces for those students to share experiences and receive support. We will continue to build our Diversity Parent Network. We will work towards diversifying our community in terms of both race and economic status. We will use our admissions lottery to provide greater access to our school for students of low socioeconomic status, and we will continue our outreach to Black, LatinX, and Native American families. We will strengthen our efforts towards diversifying our faculty. We will provide equitable access to all aspects of a Raleigh Charter education. We will continue to provide funding for food, supplies, testing, and extracurricular activities, and we will work towards providing even greater access to transportation. We will continue to partner with organizations that have common goals in areas of equity and antiracism, including community organizations and traditional public schools.

Returning students will continue to use the Chromebooks they already have; there is no need for returning students to purchase this newer model. We recommend that families order Chromebooks as soon as possible because supplies and prices have been fluctuating due to increased demand. The current model numbers are R751T, CP311-H1, CP311-1HN. Any of these models are acceptable. Families may choose to purchase either a new or refurbished device. Students do not need a stylus for their Chromebook. This Chromebook is available online at a variety of retailers including AmazonSmile, Walmart, Best Buy and Acer Recertified. Financial assistance is available. Please contact Lisa Huddleston for financial assistance. Students are reminded that some classes, particularly AP (Advanced Placement) classes, have summer assignments. This year the English department has decided not to assign a particular text for summer reading and there will be no summer reading test. Instead, students are encouraged to read widely for enjoyment and also for expanding their understanding of the world we live in. All students will receive their class schedules with the names of their teachers in the summer mailing packet. Packets will be delivered in July.
