R.C. Hatch seniors visited the University of Alabama yesterday to take part in Vision Days. Vision Days is a campus-wide program focused on supporting college readiness for high school students from rural and underrepresented communities across Alabama. This experience gave our students the chance to picture themselves as future college students while gaining valuable information to help them take the next step in their education journey.
Game Day at RCH !

Mr. Rodney Pelt spoke to the 10th, 11th, and 12th graders at Francis Marion High School and R.C. Hatch High School.
At Francis Marion, students engaged in a powerful discussion about “seeing beyond the trees”—encouraging them to look past their immediate surroundings and explore the boundless possibilities life has to offer.
After leaving Francis Marion, he connected with the 10th, 11th, and 12th graders at R.C. Hatch High School. His message there was clear: “Don’t allow others to write your life story for you.” Every student has the power to shape their own narrative!
Thank you, Mr. Pelt, for inspiring our students with such motivating words and reminding them that their future is in their own hands.
Attendance Matters!
