For the past couple of months, our R. J. Reynolds students have been looking into school shootings, in-school suspensions, sexual misconduct at school, and racial disparities. We want to share their stories with you and together think about how can we make our schools safer. For more information, visit this web page. This event is completely free but there are limited spots so save your seat right now!
RJR in Soccer Championship Tomorrow
First-seed RJR defeated Northwest Guilford in the final four and advance to the NCHSAA Class 4-A state championship game on Saturday! The game will start at 11am tomorrow at WakeMed Soccer Park, 201 Soccer Park Drive, Cary, NC. 

Come out and support our Demons tomorrow as they face the Wake Forest Cougars. Through a very generous donation, the first 100 RJR students who sign up at this link will receive a free ticket into the State Championship Soccer Game on Saturday at WakeMed Soccer Park when they arrive. Those who have already signed up to ride a fan bus will automatically be entered into this list! Choosing to not ride the fan bus does not exclude you from this offer.
