Last Friday, our RSS Department hosted a regional Superintendent’s Conference Day, bringing together teachers, staff, and administrators from across all our component school districts. Everyone stepped back into the classroom as students for a day of shared learning, collaboration, and fresh inspiration. 💡✨

Students from New Visions Engineering, TST BOCES Career and Tech Machining & Manufacturing, and TST PTECH spent the day networking with local industry leaders and exploring cutting-edge tech.
A special shoutout to our P-TECH program, who stepped up also as exhibitors, hosting interactive demos with Drone Soccer and Student Enterprise to show visiting school districts what real innovation looks like in the classroom! ⚡

The spotlight was on our students as they brought Camaraderie to the field during our school-wide flag football game, Communication and Commitment to the hallways with a CSI forensics lab, and Courage right in front of our eyes while listening to a speaker's inspiring story of overcoming obstacles on her hike through the Appalachian Trail.
Big moments, big heart, and an amazing school community. This is RAS! 💙
