The first edition of the RPHS PRISM Multi-Media Art and Literature Magazine has been printed. Thank you to five LEAD Center students who worked hard to put this 64 page, full-color magazine together - fully funded by sponsors!

If you'd like to purchase one in support of our RPHS artists and writers, the PRISM is ready for purchase at the price of $5 each. Copies are available in the high school office for purchase, or you can contact Art Teacher Amy Hellums at amy.hellums@raypec.org to arrange for pickup. Cash or check made out to RPHS PRISM are preferred methods of payment. 

All proceeds from the magazines sold will go toward scholarships for a few 2024 seniors that have artwork/ literature published in the PRISM.

The Ray-Pec Public School Foundation is planning for its annual fundraising event, the Taste of Ray-Pec, scheduled for Saturday, April 20, at Abby Road Farm, 19608 S. State Hwy J, outside of Peculiar.

The event will raise money to support Ray-Pec students and staff.

The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a social hour and opening of a silent auction. Food booths open at 6 p.m. The live auction will begin at 7 p.m. Kentucky Derby attire is the theme. The event is being held in a dirt-floor arena. Because there is no parking at the event, there will be free shuttles every 15 to 20 minutes from South Middle School, 20502 S. School Rd.

If you are interested in being a food vendor at the event, or if you have auction items to donate, please contact Jodie Huston at jodie.huston@raypec.org or 816-738-9632.

Sponsorships are also available. For sponsorship information or to purchase tickets, go here.
