Ladies and gentlemen, students and staff — it is time to celebrate excellence at Ruth Doyle Middle School! The 2026–2027 Teacher of the Year is someone who doesn’t just teach… she builds leaders, strengthens character, and invests deeply in every athlete who walks into her gym. Please join me in congratulating… 🥇 Coach Rhonda Holloway! 🥇 Coach Holloway is the definition of what it means to lead from the front. She invests in her athletes — not just in wins and scoreboards — but in confidence, discipline, grit, and heart. She teaches: • Accountability when it’s hard • Teamwork when it matters • Perseverance when things don’t go as planned • Respect on and off the court Her athletes know she believes in them — and because she believes in them, they believe in themselves. She shows up early. She stays late. She pushes her students to be their best — and then celebrates them when they get there. At RDMS, we talk about pride, ownership, and culture. Coach Holloway lives it daily. Whether in the classroom, the locker room, or the hallway, she represents what it means to be a champion for kids. And today’s celebration is even more special — her parents and sister were able to join her for the photo that will be shared with this announcement. It’s a beautiful reminder that behind every great educator is a family who helped shape the character, work ethic, and heart we see poured into our students every day. Coach Holloway, thank you for investing in our students, modeling excellence, and raising the standard for all of us. RDMS, let’s give it up for your 2026–2027 Teacher of the Year — Coach Rhonda Holloway! 👏🔥💙

Feeling especially grateful for our community today. Our students had a wonderful opportunity to practice real-world skills through a special coffee cart for our staff, and it would not have been possible without the generosity of Shadrachs Coffee.

Because of their kindness, our students were able to take drink orders, prepare and serve hot and iced coffees, and even make muffins for the staff. It was an incredible hands-on experience that helped them build confidence, communication skills, and teamwork.

The teachers at Ruth Doyle Middle School definitely appreciated the coffee, but even more than that, we appreciated seeing our students shine.

A sincere thank you to Shadrachs for supporting our students and showing such kindness to our staff. We truly love and value this community.

RDMS Families,
I need to correct information that was shared on the Washington, DC trip flyer that was recently sent out. Some of the dates listed on the flyer are incorrect.
The interest meeting will be held on February 19 @ 6 PM in the RDMS cafeteria. The $49 sign-up fee will be in effect through February 26. The February 12th date, listed on the flyer, is incorrect.
Thank you for understanding, and I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
