Macon, GA 31216 (478) 784-3120 In Every successful story begins with a solid floor plan. Rutland High School is no exception. We knew that our plan was dependable, safe, and firm. A plan that would be able to withstand the test of time. The Architects and drafters began to draw and design our new school. Diverse groups melted into an eclectic original design, forming Rutlands first student body. Beginning A sketch of common ground was hidden inside our souls. We found a door of anticipation, and a staircase of respect. This doorway led us to a new story of tolerance, and acceptance. Rutland High School became the blueprint in our hearts. N jy Rutland staff and students began to lay the foundations for an excellent school. There was no doubt that a stern foundation would lead us to a prosperous education. Iitaxye Hard work, determination, and perseverance held us together. Rutland rose to many challeng- es because our foundation was unyielding to lifes storms. A No one knew it would be this overwhelming. Seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen all paid close attention as we tried to grasp what was expected of us. Everyone had to learn his or her way through the endless maze called Rutland High School. This foundation was fresh, new, and unfamiliar. However, we knew that some day it would become our home away from home. Foundation Rutlands foundation was the dawn of a new frontier that every person would have to embark upon. Who knew the impact that each brick that was laid would have such an enormous impact on the hearts of so many? Band members enjoy relaxing after the Cherry Blossom parade.

The original Rutland High School opened its doors on September 15, 1912. The Rutland was a school of excellence and integrity, which was erected where Heard Elementary is located now. There, traditions were formed, friendships were built, and obstacles were overcome. Land Today the Rutland we know and love continues to carry a banner of integrity, high morals, and a standard of excellence. Here on Skipper Road, Rutland High School perpetually meets challenges, defeats ignorance, and encourages an excellent education. We come to this school everyday, expecting nothing less than the absolute best. We are not often disappoint- ed. On this land, the mighty hurricane swirls. On August 7, 2003 the greatest Hurricane in all of history began to brew. The origin of a bright future, and a solid history began right here in this land. Its raining, its pouring! Several students walk into school under the shelter of their umbrellas on a rainy day. The flag flies at half mast out of respect for our fellow classmate, Cory Johnson, and faculty member, Jeanette Blount. ary if The old Rutland SBetldimeronee) Construction crews work hard to make Rutland High School beautiful. A We came here as Warriors, Patriots, Vikings, Cavaliers, and Trojans. Some of us were once Knights, Seminoles, Chargers, and even Eagles. Whole However, when we came togeth- er as one, a mighty hurricane was created. When a hurricane touches land, it has the power to destroy a whole city and community. Rutland Hurricanes use their power to destroy disrespect, hatred, and stereo- types. New When all these negative concepts were eliminated, a beautiful combination of people was left to begin a bright life and future. As we began to get to know one another, we were able to look at life from many different angles. Rutland gave everyone a chance to make the best out of life. Our Genesis created an environment in which everyone is highly esteemed, accepted, and valued. Watch out world, the Rutland Hurricanes Genesis has just begun.

With so many different talents and characteristics, RHS students have not only learned to accept, but to appreciate the unique qualities spread among the students, faculty and staff. The time has come when we must look beyond our high school years and focus on our future careers. We can do anything that we dream possible, if we have the confidence to complete it. Mrs.Kathy Reese The opportunity had risen, an opportunity to become the principal of the new Rutland High School. This is an opportunity to grow profes- sionally and to expand my horizons. I believe Rutlands greatest strength would be the dedicated teachers who have high expectations and are committed to providing the best for every student. Although it was hard opening a new school, belief and strong effort made us strive to begin a new life. Having these difficulties has revealed strong character traits and exceptional leadership skills among our students and teachers. Every day is another opportunity to grow and develop. Your Principal, Mrs.Reese Miss Gerson and Mrs. Malone After being encouraged by Mrs. Reese to come to Rutland, I gladly accepted the challenge of doing something new. [The oreatest difficulties in opening this new school was learning all the new people, both staff and students, and the fire alarm! Rutlands diversity among staff and students is one of this schools greatest strengths. I hope to see more school pride and growth in Rutlands immediate future. After being transferred by the Board of Education, I discovered that Rutlands greatest strength is its extraordinary faculty, staff, students, parents, and community. I found no great difficulties in opening a new school because I have previously opened and closed the Vocational Summer School Program. I see more academics, vocational, and extracurricular programs in the schools immediate future. Marcia, Aldridge, French Amos, Lisa, Vocational Sec.
