IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING STUDENT ADMISSION TO VHSL EVENTS:
Russell County Public Schools would like to make families aware of a change regarding student admission to VHSL athletic events and activities for the 2026–2027 school year.
Last year, RCPS was pleased to provide free admission for our students to home VHSL events. Due to budget constraints, the school division has had to make cuts in several areas this year, and unfortunately, we are unable to continue providing free student admission.
However, we want to continue making attendance at school events as affordable as possible for our students. While regular admission to many VHSL events is typically $7–$8, RCPS will offer a reduced $5 admission for our students.
Students will also have the option to purchase a $50 season pass for their school, providing an additional way for students who regularly attend events to save on admission costs.
Please note: The $5 student admission price and $50 school season pass apply to regular-season home events only. These prices and passes cannot be honored during benefit games or postseason play, as prices are established by the VHSL and/or the sponsoring district or region.
Our students bring tremendous energy and school spirit to these events, and we want them in the stands supporting their classmates. We hope our families and communities will continue to come out and support our student-athletes, band members, cheerleaders, and all students who represent RCPS through VHSL activities.
Thank you for your continued understanding and support of Russell County Public Schools.
