The RMHS Special Education Department consists of a combination of special education teachers, related service providers, and paraeducators dedicated to meeting the unique learning needs of all students with IEPs.

The high school has a range of programs (i.e., LEAD, Learning Center, SAIL, SOAR, REACH) to best support students in a full inclusion setting, partial inclusion setting, or substantially separate setting. The focus of instruction, in both the general education setting and special education setting, is meeting students’ IEP goals and objectives.

Course models include para-supported classes, co-taught classes (i.e., a Special Education Teacher & a General Education Teacher), and small group classes across subject areas.

In addition, the RMHS Special Education Department’s goal is teaching our students the necessary self-advocacy, resiliency, and independence skills they require in order to successfully meet their post-secondary vision.
