Rich Township High School welcomes Congresswoman Kelly and local officials for a tour of the new facilities. U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly, along with a delegation of local Illinois Democratic politicians, visited Rich Township High School’s Fine Arts and Communications Campus on Thursday, August 15, 2024, to inspect the newly renovated commercial kitchen and food distribution center. Congresswoman Kelly expressed deep pride in the school’s accomplishments and reflected on her personal connection to the area. “It makes me very, very proud to represent this area,” Kelly stated. “Many years ago, I lived in this area, in the town next door. My children graduated from here. I’m very proud that the school is doing something like this. This is very meaningful.” Kelly was joined by State Rep. Debbie Meyers-Martin, Matteson Mayor Sheila Chalmers-Currin, Cook County Commissioner Monica Gordon and Richton Park Mayor Rick Reinbold. Her visit underscored the school’s commitment to community service and innovation. Superintendent Johnnie Thomas led the tour, showing off extensive renovations to the campus at 5000 Sauk Trail. “A place that really cares about the community,” as Thomas described it, the campus now features a state-of-the-art television broadcast area, an athletic director’s office with medical facilities, a large weight room, a gymnasium with a 200-meter track and an armory for the Naval Cadet Program. Thomas emphasized the importance of community and government support in encouraging innovation in education. “The more attention and focus we can put into making sure we are funded in a supportive way and have the support of the community, the more we can implement great ideas,” he noted. “A lot of times when people constantly hear ‘no,’ it stifles creativity.” This tour highlights Rich Township High School’s ongoing efforts to improve educational facilities and expand resources available to students and the community.
