Background & Rationale: Congratulations to our four RQS students on being selected as Raytown Teaching Scholarship Recipients. Each will receive a $2500, one-time scholarship. All awardees have expressed their interest in returning to Raytown Schools to teach upon graduation. Some are already in the process of obtaining their substitute certification so they can work part-time for the district during the summer or while home on break. Our future is bright with these leaders!
