“There are some pri-
orities, for example if a sibling is applying to come here and they have a brother or sister that is already here they have priority, or their name goes into a different hat.”
Pack also said that students of employees with Kings Canyon Uni- fied School District or Reedley College are also prioritized.

When the soil is cold and wet, citrus trees and other plants may not be able to make efficient use of
iron, mitrogen and other nutrients even though there is an ad- equate supply available in the root zone. This problem

Pack said incoming students must identify a pathway and the classes they enroll in must be part of that pathway.
“Because we are a du- al enrollment high school, that is our whole reason for existing, a student that attends our school is required to take college classes,” he said. “Let’s say for example one of our students is not doing well in college classes
they may have to take a semester off because they are put on probation with Reedley College.”
“If that happens, they still stay here for that semester,” he continued. But if that lasted longer than the semester, then we’d probably link them back up with Reedley High School or another charter program that bet- ter meets their needs.”
RMCHS offers some extra curricular ac- tivities, such as dances, prom and ASB.
“We don’t have for- mal sports teams here because we are just too small, however we do
have some kids that will participate with their home school and that is allowed,” he said.
“We do have intramu- ral sports here and that is allowed, this is the first year we’ve done that and a lot of kids enjoy it.”
How students are se- lected for the program depends on a number of factors.
“Once we collect ap- plications we then do some data work with that and then we will hold a lottery, so if we have more applications than spaces available, we will hold a lottery at the district boardroom,”
