We are proud of the continued growth happening across Russellville School District!

This achievement belongs to our entire school community. It reflects the dedication of our students who continue to learn and grow, teachers who give their best every day, families who support our students, and staff who work together to create opportunities for success.
Every lesson, every challenge, every accomplishment, and every small step forward has contributed to this moment.
This is what can happen when a community comes together with a shared commitment to our students and their success.
Congratulations, Gales! We are proud of what we have accomplished together, and we are excited for what comes next!
Congratulations to our entire school community! This is a moment to celebrate!






This is a friendly reminder that students should not be dropped off at school before 7:30 a.m. There is no staff supervision available before this time, and for the safety of our students, we cannot have students on campus without adult supervision.
Please plan to arrive at or after 7:30 a.m. so that staff are available to supervise students when they arrive.
Thank you for your help in keeping our students safe and for your continued support of Russellville Middle School!



We are so excited to begin growing something special in our RMS Courtyard Garden!
A huge thank you to Tractor Supply for generously donating three raised planting beds, garden feed, and gift cards to help us get our garden started. Their support is helping us turn our courtyard into a hands-on learning space where students can explore gardening, responsibility, and the joy of watching something grow.
We are incredibly grateful for community partners who invest in our students and help bring meaningful learning experiences to life. We can’t wait to see what grows in our Courtyard Garden!


We are already heading into Week 3, and there is lots happening around Russellville Middle School!

ATLAS Interim Testing is early this year. The Department of Education has changed the testing windows, so RMS will be testing this week. We are looking forward to getting some baseline data from our students!
