Rhea County and Rhea County High School have been in the news for some un­usual things, from bill­board wars, to chicken lit­ter. Re­cently, RCHS has been fea­tured in the news for some­thing “cool.” Chattanooga’s Chan­nel 3 sorts through emails to pick a school to fea­ture every Mon­day on a live broad­cast from 5 am to 7 am, and has made RCHS the lat­est ad­di­ton to its list of “cool schools.”

On Wednes­day, Feb­ru­ary 25, Chan­nel 3′s David Karnes stopped by RCHS to get footage of all the things that make the school stand out. The footage was used within the live broad­cast at RCHS’s gym on March 2. Karnes got a few words from var­i­ous stu­dents from dif­fer­ent or­ga­ni­za­tions at RCHS, along with some of the teach­ers. The band, JROTC, year­book staff, cheer­lead­ers, Lead­er­ship class, and stu­dents were also present dur­ing the broad­cast to show their spirit for RCHS.
