==Introduction== | ==Introduction== | ||
Rio Rancho High School (RRHS) is a public senior high school located in west central [[Rio Rancho]], [[New Mexico (U.S. state)|New Mexico]]. Opening in 1997 as part of the [[Rio Rancho Public Schools]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rrps.net/|title=Rio Rancho Public Schools}}</ref> district, it is fed by Lincoln and Eagle Ridge middle schools. The current enrollment stands at 2461 (2015-16).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolsearch/school_detail.asp?Search=1&SchoolID=350001000779&ID=350001000779|title=National Center for Education Statistics}}</ref> | |||
==History== | ==History== | ||
===Founding=== | |||
In 1995, [[Intel Corporation]] was considering a plant expansion, and approached [[Sandoval County]] about the possibility of issuing Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs) to finance the project. As part of this request, Intel was willing to provide [[Sandoval County]] with funds for local projects benefiting the local area. One of the area’s biggest needs was for a high school to serve [[Rio Rancho]]. This led to conversations among [[Sandoval County]], [[Intel Corporation|Intel]], the City of [[Rio Rancho]], and the school district about the possibility of [[Intel Corporation|Intel]] building a high school for [[Rio Rancho]]. | |||
The result of these discussions was a unique community/business partnership. The [[Sandoval County]] Commission approved the issuance of $8 billion in industrial revenue bonds permitting [[Intel Corporation]] to finance plant improvements. In return, [[Intel Corporation|Intel]] built the $30 million high school facility — the city’s first — and leased it for one dollar per year to the [[Rio Rancho Public Schools]]. Because [[Intel Corporation|Intel]] had recently completed plant construction work in [[Rio Rancho]], it had resources to manage the construction project in place. Rio Rancho High was built as a “design-build” project by the private sector. | |||
[[Intel Corporation|Intel]] built the core facility: four of the five academy buildings, a gym and the performing arts center. The district was responsible for providing furnishings, technology, and equipment. The district subsequently completed the current Humanities Academy building, as well as all of the athletics facilities and other improvements. A [[Rio Rancho]] 2007 bond issue added a drama classroom/”black box” theater facility and field house facilities for soccer, track, and cross country to the Rio Rancho High campus. | |||

===Overcrowding/Split=== | |||
In 2008 due to overcrowding at Rio Rancho High school, the [[Rio Rancho Public Schools]] district built the [[V. Sue Cleveland High School]], which opened in August 2009. During that year incoming 9th through 11th grade students who resided south of Northern Blvd. attended Rio Rancho High School, and all residing north of Northern Blvd. began to attend V. Sue Cleveland High School. The senior class of 2010 continued to attend Rio Rancho High School regardless of where they resided in Rio Rancho. | |||

Introduction
Rio Rancho High School (RRHS) is a public senior high school located in west central Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Opening in 1997 as part of the Rio Rancho Public Schools[1] district, it is fed by Lincoln and Eagle Ridge middle schools. The current enrollment stands at 2461 (2015-16).[2]
History
Founding
In 1995, Intel Corporation was considering a plant expansion, and approached Sandoval County about the possibility of issuing Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs) to finance the project. As part of this request, Intel was willing to provide Sandoval County with funds for local projects benefiting the local area. One of the area’s biggest needs was for a high school to serve Rio Rancho. This led to conversations among Sandoval County, Intel, the City of Rio Rancho, and the school district about the possibility of Intel building a high school for Rio Rancho.
The result of these discussions was a unique community/business partnership. The Sandoval County Commission approved the issuance of $8 billion in industrial revenue bonds permitting Intel Corporation to finance plant improvements. In return, Intel built the $30 million high school facility — the city’s first — and leased it for one dollar per year to the Rio Rancho Public Schools. Because Intel had recently completed plant construction work in Rio Rancho, it had resources to manage the construction project in place. Rio Rancho High was built as a “design-build” project by the private sector.
Intel built the core facility: four of the five academy buildings, a gym and the performing arts center. The district was responsible for providing furnishings, technology, and equipment. The district subsequently completed the current Humanities Academy building, as well as all of the athletics facilities and other improvements. A Rio Rancho 2007 bond issue added a drama classroom/”black box” theater facility and field house facilities for soccer, track, and cross country to the Rio Rancho High campus. [3]
Overcrowding/Split
In 2008 due to overcrowding at Rio Rancho High school, the Rio Rancho Public Schools district built the V. Sue Cleveland High School, which opened in August 2009. During that year incoming 9th through 11th grade students who resided south of Northern Blvd. attended Rio Rancho High School, and all residing north of Northern Blvd. began to attend V. Sue Cleveland High School. The senior class of 2010 continued to attend Rio Rancho High School regardless of where they resided in Rio Rancho.
Presidential Visit
President Barack Obama hosted a Town Hall meeting at the high school on May 14, 2009 regarding the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 or Credit CARD Act of 2009.
Popular culture
- Rio Rancho High School was used as filming location for the TV show Breaking Bad, being portrayed in the show as J. P. Wynne High School.[4]
- The campus was also used as a film location in the 2011 movie Fright Night.[5]
Notable alumni
- Chris Williams - wide receiver who played in the CFL[6] and the NFL[7]
- Tim Madigan - golfer who played on the PGA Tour, PGA Tour Canada and Web.com Tour[8]
- Ashley Rhoades - Honorable mention All-American for the University of New Mexico and Cibola High School head volleyball coach
Academics
The New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED)[9] replaced the No Child Left Behind Act and Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) testing with a new school grading formula, which took effect for the 2010-11 school years. The grade is calculated using many forms of testing, and includes graduation rates.

AVID
Rio Rancho High School offers Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID)[11] , is a college preparation program designed by a teacher in the San Diego school system 30 years ago. The program is for students who want to improve their lives through the educational process - both in high school and in college. AVID curriculum implements strategies to help the student keep organized, take quality notes in class and provide bi-weekly tutorial sessions (study groups) with the intent to support the student in progressing through high school in a successful fashion to ensure college admission.
Engineering
PLTW
RRHS employes the project-based aspects of the Project Lead The Way (PLTW)[12] curriculum which gives students a chance to apply what they know, identify a problem, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning, rather than be passive recipients of information in a question-and-answer, right-or-wrong learning environment. PLTW’s premier high school program, Pathway To Engineering™, is a four-year course of study integrated into the students’ core curriculum. The combination of traditional math and science courses with innovative Pathway To Engineering courses prepares students for college majors in engineering and E/T fields and offers them the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school.
RoboRAVE
The Rio Rancho Robotics Club prepares and participates in annual RoboRAVE International[13] competitions. This program aims to make robotics accessible to any kid, anywhere with the goals of having fun while learning, sharing and teamwork. RoboRAVE's motto is “Today’s Play, Tomorrow’s Pay.” Teams of students must design, assemble and program robotic kits to accomplish specific tasks.
Humanities
Culinary
RRHS offers culinary classes utilizing the ProStart[14] program which is a health and wellness, nutrition science program with the intent to provide Rio Rancho High School students with the integrated knowledge, skills, and practices required (for careers) in food production and services. This course was developed for students interested in going into the restaurant or hospitality and lodging fields. The course combines culinary and management skills, and includes guest speakers and field trips in the industry. Students develop culinary skills in nutrition, breakfast foods such as crepes, pancakes, hot and cold sandwiches, salads, vinegar's and salsas, garnishes, fruits and vegetables. Students learn about menu developing, cost planning and inventory control for running their own restaurant.
Fine Arts
Vans Custom Culture Art Competition
Rio Rancho High School was named Grand Champion of the Fifth Annual Custom Culture Art and Design Competition, a national high school art competition in which 2,000 selected schools receive four pairs of blank Vans shoes to use as a canvas, to be designed according to four different themes: Art, Music, Action Sports and 'Local Flavor'. Once a school's designs are completed, they go through a voting process to narrow down the top 50 entries. Further voting by the public narrows the selection to the top 5 that go on to compete in the final event. These schools artists are flown out to celebrate their artwork and have noted judges vote on the grand prize winning submission.
At the final event held on June 10, 2014 at New York City's Industria Superstudio, celebrity judges MKTO, Steve Caballero, Matt Shultz, Kemal Harris, Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto selected the winning custom shoe designs. Vans presented Rio Rancho High School with the grand-prize $50,000 donation to support its art program. The winning shoe design was also produced and sold in select Vans and Journeys retail stores, and online at Vans.com and Journeys.com.
RRHS artists also won the Vans contest national finals in 2010 and 2012. In 2010 the grand prize was $10,000; by 2012 it had increased to $50,000. In 2012, RRHS also won an additional $5,000 in the Journeys Local Attitude competition for the best design reflecting a community's local flavor.
Dance
The Rio Rancho High School Dance Department established in 1997 is one of the few full time public school dance programs of its kind in New Mexico. The RRHS Dance Department offers five levels of instruction, starting with level 1 beginning and ending with Master Dance Company, a performance based company that performs three times a year in the RRHS Performing Arts Center (PAC). Dance techniques are offered in ballet, jazz, lyrical/Contemporary, modern, hip-hop, choreography and performance.
