Parents of students that are interested in attending Ruston High School for the 2025-26 school year are invited to a Freshman Academy informational meeting tonight, Monday, Jan. 13, at 6 p.m. in the Ruston Junior High School cafeteria.
A second meeting will follow on Thursday, Jan. 23, at 6 p.m., though parents are only asked to attend one of the two meetings.
“These meetings are used to provide parents with as much information as possible about Ruston High School, and specifically, about our freshman academy,” Ruston High principal Dan Gressett said. “We provide everything from important dates, expectations, scheduling information, and much more. We highly encourage parents of eighth grade students to attend.
“Our freshman counselor, Kellye Ratcliff, freshman academy coordinator, Katie Walker, freshman assistant principal, Ryan bond, and I will all be there. We want parents to feel comfortable as their child transitions to a larger environment. This is a great opportunity for parents to get valuable information, ask questions, and just get a feel for what next year will look like for their freshman.”
For more information, Ratcliff can be emailed at kratcliff@lincolnschools.org.
