Memories
Thank you! This is a very special honor. RUHS was and is an exceptional school with a distinguished and compassionate faculty and staff. Once a Sea Hawk, always a Sea Hawk. The old RUHS auditorium was magic! On that stage, I learned courage, tolerance and perseverance. I made lifelong friends there and I treasure memories from Madrigal Choir and Thespians.
