Student Services Fee for Rio Rancho High School

In an effort to help fund Student-Centered Activities (including after-school clubs, programs, and electives), RRHS charges a Student Service Fee (SSF) of $30 for all students
enrolled. The SSF enables RRHS to offer students opportunities that would otherwise be eliminated due to the state’s budget shortfall.

CURRICULUM ORIENTED
Promote student-centered programs which support co-curricular and extra-curricular clubs, organizations and electives.

ATHLETICS AND FINE ARTS BASED
Provide all students free admission to all home Athletic and Fine Arts events (drama, dance, band, choir).
Note: Tournaments and NMAA state tournament games are excluded.
ACTIVITIES BASED
Transportation of groups to non-athletic competitions.
Provide for campus-wide programs such as “Rachel’s Challenge,” “Save-a-Life Anti DWI,” and other motivational programs.
Provide healthy snacks for students during HSGA testing.
Fund Positive Behavior Support-related (PBS) student recognition programs.
A portion of the funds collected goes to each student’s grade level account, to be used to fund grade-specific programs such as homecoming floats, and other class projects as
determined by student representatives elected by the students.
