Our committed community of educators, families, and students are redefining the public school experience, continuing a long history of welcoming all of the neighborhood’s children. Today and tomorrow, RSMA educates children to be makers and artists who

READ, WRITE, THINK, MAKE, AND CREATE to prepare for college, career, and civic engagement.

    By collaborating

    By including all
