While many students are headed to the beach, more than 200 dedicated seventh and eighth graders have returned to the halls of Rosemont Middle School. From June 15 to July 21, these students are getting a vital jump start on their education, transforming the quiet summer months into a vibrant season of academic growth and creative discovery.

The summer program serves a dual purpose for the local youth. For some, it is a focused opportunity to bolster their academic standing and sharpen core skills before the new school year begins. For others, the session offers a rare chance to dive into exciting projects and electives. The campus is alive with a diverse array of offerings, ranging from the dramatic arts and ceramics to foreign languages, competitive sports, math, language arts and hands-on science labs.

Leading the charge are Principal Suzanne Risse and vice principals Doug Laing and Ashley Park. The administrative trio is on hand daily to facilitate the various programs and ensure every student feels at home. 

“Our goal is to help students get acclimated to life at Rosemont,” the administration noted, emphasizing the importance of welcoming new faces to the campus in a supportive, high-energy environment. 

As the July 21 conclusion nears, Rosemont continues to prove that for these students, the pursuit of knowledge doesn’t take a summer vacation.
