As we close the 2024–2025 school year, I find myself filled with deep gratitude and joy for the many accomplishments we have witnessed across our Roanoke Rapids Graded School District, and fittingly, the highlight of this Yellow Jacket Report is our most significant annual celebration — the graduation of the Roanoke Rapids High School Class of 2025.
The Halifax County Sheriff’s Office had the opportunity to start off the week of Hero Camp at Halifax County 4H today.
Last year, the Roanoke Rapids City Council approved a 2-cent tax reduction based on projected ad valorem tax revenue, which was overestimated by $1.1 million compared to actual collections.
The Roanoke Valley Chamber of Commerce announces that Ginny Lewis, former president, submitted her resignation effective immediately.
As we enter the final week of the 2024–2025 school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the accomplishments, growth, and spirit of our Roanoke Rapids Graded School District community.
