In March, even the non-basketball fanatics know what is going on: having reached the end of conference games, it's time for the madness that is the NCAA tournament.  First, let’s look at a quick recap of where things stand based on the conference tournaments.   The weekend of March 15 and...

One of this week's Senior Spotlights is on someone I knew for years before I came to RMA. I met Gavin Ozment when I began riding horses at Faithful Stables and have been lucky enough to call him my friend ever since. Gavin describes himself as someone who is traditional and a hard worker, which I can...

One of our three senior spotlights this week is an RMA student who has attended the school since kindergarten and is the son of RMA science teacher Dr. Wells, Wyatt Wells. If Wyatt were to describe himself in two words, they would be friendly and easy-going. Outside of school, he likes to spend time...

I have known Grace Bone as long as I can remember, so I am beyond excited to write her Senior Spotlight for this edition of The Eagle Examiner. Our parents have worked together forever, and I will always treasure my memories of growing up seeing Grace around the Nottingham Company’s office,...

On February 21, the varsity girls basketball team made history by being the first RMA basketball team ever to compete in the state championship–and we won! As one of the starting five, I want to share with you how special this experience was for all sixteen players. With snow still on the ground,...

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...
