Rock Hill School District Challenger Program

The Challenger after school program has been cut from the budget as of June 4, 2009. This program serves all children in the Rock Hill school district but Rosewood Elementary International School has one of the largest student enrollments. Without this program, parents will have to find alternative programs for their children. It’s a decision that will have a big impact on OUR community.
