Roy C. Ketcham High School

September 5, 2025

Greetings Ketchamnation,

It has been such a great start to the school year! The first few days have been filled with energy, excitement, and smiles as we welcomed our students back into the building. Whether it’s reconnecting with old friends, meeting new classmates, or learning routines in the classroom, our students are already showing us that this year is full of promise. 

I want to thank our faculty and staff for their dedication in making the opening days run so smoothly, and our families for your continued support. We know the transition back to school takes teamwork, and it has been wonderful to see everyone working together to create a positive beginning.

As we settle into the school year, please encourage your student to stay engaged, ask questions, and take advantage of all the opportunities that RCK has to offer. This is just the start of what will be a year filled with growth, achievement, and memorable experiences. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

Your Principal,

Dave Seipp
