    • NEW! RCPS Superintendent's Podcast

      Rockbridge County Public Schools would like to invite you to listen to the first episode of the RCPS Informational Podcast. These short podcast episodes will discuss different topics in the division that we are often asked about.  These podcasts will be hosted by Dr. Phillip Thompson, division superintendent, and he will dive into the chosen topic along with other division staff members.  The topic of our first podcast is inclement weather related decisions and the process conducted by school division administration when deciding whether to close or delay schools on any given day.  Please be on the lookout for more topics coming soon!
