Rushville Consolidated High School, also known as "RCHS", is a four-year public high school in Rushville, Indiana, United States, as part of the Rush County Schools.

About

RCHS is in Rush County and has an attendance of around 1,000 students. The school functions on a block schedule with classes alternating every other day. The school mascot is the lion, and the school colors are red and black.

As of the 2012-13 school year, the school had an enrollment of 792 students and 51.00 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 15.53.[1]

Drug testing

In 1998, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit supported a school policy that required students in all extracurricular activities to participate in random drug tests. These activities include sports teams, dances, academic teams, clubs, and any other school supported activities. That was the first time a federal appeals court upheld such a policy for students other than athletes.[2] The ruling was challenged by the ACLU, but the United States Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal.[3]

Athletics

The school mascot is the lion, and the school colors are black and red. The men's athletic teams are referred to as Lions, and the women's teams are referred to as Lady Lions.[4]
