Thank You, Ashley Braithwait!
We are so grateful to Ashley Braithwait, our elementary school counselor and Richland High School alumna, for taking the time to visit Mrs. Hand’s Career Exploration class!
Ashley shared her experiences and insights about working as a school counselor and gave our students a firsthand look at what it takes to pursue a career in counseling. It was especially meaningful for our students to hear from someone who once walked the halls of our school and has returned to serve our community.

The Richland R-IV School District is committed to “Never Forgetting” the events that happened on September 11, 2001. We will continue to teach the lessons of that day so that future generations understand the sacrifices made and the importance of standing together in the face of adversity. We will observe a moment of silence at the start of the school day to honor the 2,977 victims, the service members who gave their lives in the years that followed, and the families who continue to carry their legacy forward. #NeverForget
