RPS 205 Business Academy students participated in the the Business Competition at Rockford University. They turned their ideas into reality—crafting & selling products, pitching like pros & building brands. Community judges then voted on who had the best biz skills.











Starting today, RPS 205 high school students can apply for a seat on the Superintendent's Student Advisory Council for the 25-26 school year. The application period closes on May 10.
