🎓 To Our Graduating Seniors: Thank You for the Magic! 🎭✨
As we approach the end of the school year, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible Class of 2026. These seniors have been the heartbeat of the RLCA Performing Arts program, and their legacy is woven into every performance we’ve shared.
From the very first rehearsals to the final curtain calls, you have led our Raptors with passion and dedication. Whether you were:
The Heart of the Raptor Regiment: Bringing precision and energy to the field as part of our Marching Band and Color Guard during football season.
Masters of the Stage: Delivering unforgettable performances in our Theater Class productions, from the courtroom chaos of 12 Hangry Jurors to the intrigue of Murder at the Renaissance Faire and the timeless words of Shakespeare.
Leading the Way: Stepping up as Student Directors for our Junior Production of Alice Jr.
The Magic Behind the Curtain: Serving as the backbone of our productions as Stage Crew, mastering the lights, managing the wings as stage hands, and ensuring every technical detail was perfect from opening night to the final bow.
Bringing Stories to Life: Capturing our imaginations in our spectacular Spring Musical, The Wizard of Oz.
Our Graduating Seniors: Bridget, Calvin, Elena, Emilia, Emma, Gracie, Judah, Zadie
You have mentored younger students, built a community, and turned our stage into a world of pure imagination. While we are sad to see you go, we are so excited to see the “other side of the rainbow” as you begin your next adventure.
Seniors, thank you for the late nights, the hard work, and the memories. Once a Raptor, always a Raptor! 🦖🎓❤️

We can’t wait to welcome these young raptors into the performing arts in Upper School! Congratulations on a fabulous performance and an outstanding year, Lower School!

⚖️ ORDER IN THE COURT... AND GET THESE PEOPLE A SNACK! 🍕🥪
What happens when a jury is tasked with a life-changing decision, but they haven’t had lunch yet? Things get HANGRY.
We are thrilled to announce that our Theater Class will be performing 12 Hangry Jurors! This hilarious production takes the tension of a courtroom drama and adds the ultimate complication: empty stomachs. Tempers flare, logic fails, and the verdict might just depend on what’s for dessert.
We have two incredible casts bringing this story to life during the school day!
