In July of 2023, with the support of the RHS Administration and the help of the RHS Critter Care students, Chance Duncan made RHS the first and only secondary educational institution in the world reproducing the critically endangered Louisiana Pine Snake. He hatched 4 baby pine snakes from his pair of adults and will be incorporating all of them in a genetics research project in the fall he hopes his students will be able to take to statewide and beyond science research competitions. Though none of these are appropriate to release into the wild, they will provide invaluable contributions to the captive gene pool of one of the rarest and most endangered snakes in the US.

Congratulations to these 15 Russellville High School students for obtaining the Arkansas Seal of Biliteracy demonstrating proficiency in English and Spanish.
Adopted first by California in 2011, the Seal of Biliteracy is now recognized in 49 states and Washington D.C. According to the official website, “the Seal of Biliteracy encourages students to pursue biliteracy, honors the skills our students attain, and can be evidence of skills that are attractive to future employers and college
admissions offices.” Since the 2017 pilot year in Arkansas, a total of 4,362 students from 95 high schools around the state have attained this certification across twenty-four languages other than English.
