WELCOME WELLS!: Rich Township High School District 227 is excited to announce and welcome Ms. Janice Wells who will serve as the Interim Co-Principal of RTHS! Alongside Mr. Larry Varn, the two will work together to provide stability, strengthen academic engagement and establish a culture of excellence at both the STEM and FAC Campuses. We heard our community concerns and worked with our Board of Education to respond responsibly. We are confident that this leadership duo will lead us to remain focused on students and student success.
