Published Media

The RRHS school administration publishes a monthly newsletter titled "The Big Red Letter" which is mailed to parents. This newsletter contains news about academics, athletics, activities, and important notices.

The student-run "Rider's Digest" is the school newspaper. It is published about three times per school year. It includes information on school events and contains student input. The newspaper editing council provides education and training in newspaper layout, publishing, writing, and advertising.

Another on-and-off run publication called "Rider's Digested" has also been published as a parody of the Rider's Digest. It is run without the consent of the school printed and paid for by a few students and has made for some freedom of speech debates within the school.

Every year, the "Red River Epilogue" is offered to students. This yearbook is edited and compiled by students with the help of an adviser. It is usually offered for sale in the school store at the end of the next school year, but is sometimes delayed further into the year. The yearbook contains student photographs and information on school events.
