Big win for the Lady Bears over Laquey tonight.
We would like to give a big thank-you to our very own Richland alumna, Theresa Stafford, an American Family Insurance Agent, for taking the time to speak with Mrs. Hand’s Career Exploration Class!
Theresa shared valuable insight and advice with our students about pursuing a career and navigating life’s opportunities. She encouraged students not to worry if “Plan A” doesn’t work out, but instead to be open to new opportunities and willing to take on challenges. One of her biggest pieces of advice was to never be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and never simply say, “That’s not my job.”
We truly appreciate Theresa for sharing her experiences, wisdom, and encouragement with our students. We are especially grateful for our Richland alumni who continue to give back to our school and invest in the next generation!

Tomorrow is our annual Jr High Basketball game with Stoutland that is played during the day. 6th-8th grade students will be bussed to Stoutland for the game. They will leave after eating lunch and will return in time to be picked up or ride the bus home. There will be a concession stand available, if students intend to purchase anything they will need to bring money, but entrance to the game is free. If you do not want your student to go to the game, please reach out to their building office and let them know that your student does not have permission to go.
Busses will be running a little late this afternoon. They are all on the road now. We apologize for the delay.
See You at the Pole is being held tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM. Let us come together around our flag as students will lead prayers for our school and community. #BEARCOMMUNITY
Today, Mrs. Hand’s Career Exploration class was excited to welcome Wade Steward, a proud Richland High School graduate and the owner and operator of Wade’s Auto and Diesel!
Wade shared his personal experience of owning and operating a business, giving our students an honest look at the time, money, and dedication it takes to be a successful business owner. One of his most valuable pieces of advice for students was to get experience in the field they are interested in—even if that means volunteering—before committing to a career. Getting hands-on experience can help you determine whether a career is truly the right fit for you.
Thank you, Wade, for helping our students explore their career options.
