👏👏👏 Let's give it up for our 2026 RHS Graduates!

The class of 2026 has accomplished something remarkable! This year's graduates completed an impressive **1,129** college credits before they graduated high school. Students received a black and red cord for earning 15 or more college credits during their high school career through the dual-enrollment program with Western Wyoming Community College.

Additionally, graduates at VHS earned 10 college credits and our Home School graduates earned 18 college credits.

A special THANK YOU to Carbon County for their ongoing support through mill levies and local property taxes. Your investment to education allows local students to earn college credits while still in high school, reducing the financial burden on families and helping students build a strong future.

Thank you to the City of Rawlins Government, Rawlins High School Key Club, Ohana Sips and CCHEC's very own talented wood shop students for coming together to make this project happen.
