R.J. Reynolds High School
Demon Soccer in 4A Playoffs Tomorrow
Come out and support our Demons tomorrow at Bolton Field as they play in the second round of the state playoffs. RJR is seeded #1 in the NCHSAA Class 4-A West, and will host the Ardrey Kell Knights at 2pm Saturday. As the #1 seed, RJR received a first-round bye in these playoffs.
WS/FCS School Showcase
R.J. Reynolds High School is proud to be a nationally-certified Magnet School for the Arts. In previous years, a Magnet Fair was held in late fall to provide more information about Magnet programs and schools. This year, Winston-Salem / Forsyth County Schools have turned the traditional Magnet Fair into the WS/FCS School Showcase. The new School Showcase will highlight all Magnet Schools and every other school in our district. The idea is to provide one place where parents can get a feel for every opportunity offered to our students. From Pre-K through high school, there will be information for every family no matter where your students are on their educational journey.
