The Issue

The RMHS dance program has been around for 29 years. Next year will be its 30th anniversary. It means a lot to many students and even alumni to have this program here. At this point it is part of Rio Mesa’s history and it’s not fair to remove it after so long when it is still a very active program. This impacts everyone at Rio Mesa, even if they aren’t in the dance program. We perform at rally’s events. Even allumni is still active in the program years later. Our dance teacher, choreographers, and many rio mesa teacher are still active members in our program. You can see how many people our dance program has affected. Please sign this petition to show that you want the dance program to stay and thrive at Rio Mesa.

Thank you, RMHS dance students

As a Trustee, I want to assure you that I am fully committed to doing everything I can to ensure the Rio Mesa Dance Program continues under the leadership of Ms. Scholler. The Rio Mesa Dance Program has meant so much to so many—including my own family. My personal connection to the program runs deep. In 1996, my then 5-year-old daughter danced in the very first Rio Mesa dance show and continued performing for several years. When she entered high school in 2005, she proudly danced all four years as part of the Rio Mesa Dance Program. This program holds a special place in my heart, and I will continue to advocate for this irreplaceable program on behalf of past, current, and future dancers.
