Our Sponsors and Partners as a Green School
during the past 4 years...
Our Community Partners
Over the past 4 years, the staff and students of Rocky Hill Middle School have sought out the counsel and resources of local, regional, and national organizations in our quest to remain an environmentally conscientious member of our community. The advice, support, and guidance of these partners has been instrumental in our efforts and their contributions are highlighted here. We wish to thank our sponsors for their generous gifts of time, funding, and effort as we 'go for the green'.
