Reynolds High School

Dear R.J. Reynolds High School Students and Parents,

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year at R.J. Reynolds High School! I trust that you have taken time this summer to relax, refresh, and REFLECT. I am excited to see you all in the building as we kick off the 100th Year Celebration of R.J. Reynolds High School. My excitement lies in my gratefulness for the opportunity to serve as your principal. Many members of our staff have worked this summer to prepare for the school year ahead to provide you with the best experience and environment for learning.

Our staff is committed to providing the highest quality educational experience for each student. For all students to reach their personal best, we value inclusive relationships, we value the interconnectedness of our community and we believe that growth is essential.  We welcome families as members of their child’s educational team and we encourage you to find a group or an activity that connects you to our school in your own personal way.  Please make sure you visit our website to see all of the opportunities to get involved, review our parent and family engagement compact, and see all the happenings at R.J. Reynolds.

Students, make certain you are school ready (Reynolds Ready) every day. Make a commitment to what that means physically, academically, mentally, and socially. Your success hinges on the actions that allow you to meet the expectations and standards for academic excellence and the development of strong character. The staff and I are committed to building strong relationships and making “Reynolds the place where EVERYONE wants to be.” We are ALL IN!

Thank you for entrusting my staff and me with the important role we fill in your lives! It’s going to be a fantastic year at R.J. Reynolds High School!

Please commit to being ALL IN!

My very best to you,
Calvin Freeman
