Richmond Community Schools

On Monday, the Varsity Softball team was recognized at the Board of Education meeting to celebrate their State Championship. The four team captains shared some of thier favorite memories from the title run, and each had a heartfelt thank you to some of the people that helped make the season such a success. Below is a letter of thanks from Head Coach Howard Stuart to the community: To: Richmond HS Softball Families, Richmond HS Softball Alumni, Richmond HS Staff and Students and the entire Richmond Community From: The 2025 MHSAA Division 2 Softball State Champs – Richmond HS Softball The 2025 State Title run was an incredible success story for the Richmond High School softball team. Their hard work and dedication resulted in a state title. Richmond had more than just dedication from the athletes on the field and in the dugout. The Richmond community support topped every school we played. The community believed in the team and our fan presence at each game made a huge difference. The MHSAA representative at MSU commented that our teams, coaches and fans demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship and behavior throughout the semi-finals and finals. The officials at the districts remarked that officials enjoy working Richmond Softball games because of the fan support and sportsmanship. This is a statement about who we are as much as the score at the end of the game. On behalf of the team, I want to thank everyone who attended the games. Thank you to everyone who watched at home, as well. Thank you to all the past players who have created a culture of excellence. And lastly, a special thanks to our assistant coaches, parents and families for the support all season. Howard Stuart Richmond High School Varsity Softball Coach

Dear Richmond Community Schools Families and Residents, Please join us at the Community Conversations with the Superintendent sessions on Monday, April 21st at Will L. Lee Elementary School (Enter through Door #1) in the Media Center at 6:30 p.m. As shared in the January edition of the Communicator newsletter, the Board of Education approved a resolution this past December to consider a no-increase millage proposal aimed at funding essential expansions at all three buildings, with Richmond Middle School and Richmond High School receiving significant expansions. This initiative is designed to accommodate our growing student population and enhance our facilities to ensure we continue meeting the educational needs of our community effectively. By investing in these expansions, we continue to provide modern, adaptable spaces for learning for our students and staff, while also providing addition after-hours spaces for our community to utilize. To further engage our community and gather your valuable input, I invite you to attend one of our upcoming Community Conversations with the Superintendent where I will present insights into student enrollment trends, facility utilization and needs assessments, and proposed building expansions. These discussions will also allow us to hear your valuable feedback, and what you would like to see added to the scope of the project, all of which will be shared with the Board of Education as they consider approving a resolution for a bond proposal in May, for a vote on November 4, 2025. As we work together to support the future of Richmond Community Schools, I encourage you to take part in these important discussions. Your engagement is essential in shaping a plan that best serves our students, staff, and the entire community.  Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to our schools. I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming sessions. Sincerely, Brian J. Walmsley, Ed.S. Superintendent
