On January 25, our Exceptional Eagles joined with other exceptional students from the community to celebrate their very own prom! The event was held at Nashville Methodist Church and was staffed by about 60 student volunteers from RMA and about 65 adult volunteers from the RMA community, including...

This senior spotlight is on none other than Kaylee Wright, who joined the Rocky Mount Academy family in eighth grade. I’ve known Kaylee longer than I haven’t–we’ve played softball together since we were seven–and I can confidently say she is one of the friendliest people I know. She is always...

The highly anticipated–and ultimately disappointing–game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles was played on Sunday, February 9, marking the end of the NFL season.  Kansas City had a home-field advantage during their path to the Super Bowl because they had the number-one seed....

One of three Senior Spotlights this week is about Seth Tickel, whom I am excited to write about since I was one of his first friends at RMA! Seth is friendly, athletic, and an outdoorsman–all characteristics that have made him a great addition to the Class of 2025.. He has been at RMA since his freshman...

If you have not spent much time around Charlie Crumley, you probably think she seems nice but is pretty quiet–at least that was what I thought before lifeguarding with her after my freshman year. Since she didn’t come to RMA until her freshman year (I was in eighth grade) and we didn’t have any...

She is also somehow just as hardworking as she is cheerful, which has left an indelible impression on all of RMA in just the two years she's been...

Now that the college football playoffs are over (you can see my previous article, which offered predictions and a little on the first round here) and Ohio State University has been crowned the national champions, let's talk about Ohio State’s road to victory and how the other teams fell short. There...

One of three senior spotlights this week is on Micah Boseman, who has been here since fourth grade. If he had to describe himself in three words, it would be hardworking, inclusive, and generous. I played football with Micah and can vouch for his inclusivity and generosity: I thought I knew the sport...

One of this week's senior spotlights focuses on Colin Agan, who describes himself as “easy-going.” One of his many friends, Carter Ingram, says that Colin “always knows how to calm a situation down with his chill attitude.” That easy-going attitude hasn’t stopped Colin from involving himself...

Every year in January, RMA’s World Language teachers host an international lunch for the upper school students and school staff. On January 16, French teacher Ms. O’Brien’s and Spanish teacher Ms. Bolivar’s students brought in a variety of dishes for everyone to sample. Most of these dishes...
