The Pride of RPS

From the ordinary to the extraordinary, Richmond Public Schools alumni are enriching their communities and advancing the school district's legacy of student achievement. Recognizing these vast contributions, The Pride of RPS is designed to foster a strong sense of community and demonstrate the tremendous accomplishments of alumni worldwide. The Pride of RPS narrates both known and unknown stories of success and illustrates why Richmond Public Schools is the Choice for Educational Excellence.

An alumni-driven program, The Pride of RPS will assist Richmond Public Schools in identifying alumni worldwide, highlighting the accomplishments of Richmond Public Schools graduates and encouraging former students to reconnect with Richmond Public Schools through volunteerism, financial contributions or by serving as ambassadors.

Richmond Public Schools graduates are invited to visit The Pride of RPS Facebook page to receive information about alumni news, events, volunteer opportunities and other ways to be a part of Richmond Public Schools' ongoing success.

We invite you to share your stories. More importantly, spread the good news and get reconnected with Richmond Public Schools - The Choice for Educational Excellence.
