- RHS Business Department Named Top 100 Best W!SE High Schools in its National rankings: Each year students enrolled in a Personal Finance class take an end of course test called the W!SE test. First published in 2013, the 100 Best W!SE High School national rankings recognizes the top 100 performing High Schools in W!SE's national network. This showcases excellence in financial education and motivates schools to "race to the top" in personal finance instruction! We are very proud of this honor and recognition! Congratulations goes to both the students as well as the teachers (Ms. Painter & Ms. Miller) for all of their hard work!
