This year's event is expected to draw 500+ attendees and will include local craft and food vendors, other RHS spirit clubs, visits with Santa, a raffle, silent auction, choir performances from local elementary and middle schools, as well as demonstrations by the JROTC Rattler Guard and Diamondback Drill teams.  The Booster Club raises the majority of our annual fundraising dollars during this event.  All proceeds fund the academic activities available as part of the RHS JROTC program.

The purpose of JROTC is to instill in students the values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment.  This is accomplished through daily classroom curriculum, use of integrated (extra) curricular activities, and is balanced with participation in volunteer community service and service learning projects.  In addition, the RHS JROTC program offers physical training sessions before school and practice for Raider, Drill, Archery, Orienteering, Air Rifle and Robotics teams after school.  These excurricular teams often compete at both the state and national level.
