February 25, 2025 Update

Good afternoon,

My hope is that you have been able to go outside on this lovely February day. We have had, it seems, day upon day of cloudy and windy weather during February. Today, however, has been glorious.

Looking back, we have had a full winter of activity:

  • The Rockford High School wrestling team won their district and regional.
    • Rockford wrestling qualified for the team regional held last week.
  • Our Rockford High School girls' bowling team won their regional and will participate in the state tournament this weekend.
  • Our Rockford High School ski team qualified for the state championship. 
  • Both our Rockford High School boys' and girls' basketball teams won the OK Red Conference.
  • 15 Rockford Odyssey of the Mind teams qualified for the state finals to be held March 15.
  • Our Rockford High School competitive cheer team qualified for the state championships to be held this weekend.
  • Our choirs, bands, and orchestras have been performing in their district festivals and receiving high marks

As we look ahead, here are some important items for your consideration:

  • Suessical the Musical starts March 6
  • Rockford boys' basketball will start the post-season Wednesday night at 5:30
    • Rockford will play Mona Shores at 5:30 PM at Reeths-Puffer high School
  • Rockford High School gymnastics will compete in their regional championship this weekend.
