Who we are
About Friends of Rolling Hills
Rolling Hills Middle School's parent group, Friends of Rolling Hills (FORH), exists to keep our Bengals resourced, supported, and connected. We're a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works side by side with RHMS teachers and administrators — not to run big galas or auctions, but to fund what the classroom actually needs, trimester after trimester.
Rather than lean on major fundraising events, we ask families to support the Annual Fund Drive directly. That funding keeps a classroom set of Chromebooks replaced every year — their useful life is only about four years — and covers school supplies, staff appreciation, and student programs in between.
When We Meet
2nd Thursday of most months, 12:45 PM. Open to every RHMS parent — no need to RSVP, just show up.
Next meeting:
Meetings are held in the RHMS staff lounge.
