RO-HAWK LEGACY COURTYARD/WALKWAY 2021

The Ro-Hawk Legacy Bricks 

A special thanks goes to Dr. Mark Malone, Principal of Randolph High School for his support of the legacy brick project. As always without Gloria Campbell Gallagher keeping Ro-Hawks contacting Ro-Hawks for 50+ years many alums wouldn’t have known a courtyard was under construction and where to buy a brick.

Thank you, Glo! We heard a rumor you are working on a homecoming celebration; looking forward to another fun event.

A special Ro-Hawk salute and THANK YOU goes out to Sarah Thompson as the legacy brick project leader, organizer, and person that made the legacy courtyard a reality - literally Brick by Brick.

During the pandemic as an RFISD parent and AFJROTC Booster Club member Sarah pressed forward with the project with the support of her family and a small team to ensure they completed the project on time with quality results. 

The AFJROTC, Band, Athletics, and PTO organizations all received a portion of the $4600 raised from the sale of the bricks

When we say Sarah and her team made the project successful brick by brick - see pictures below.

This is the Courtyard. The building in the rear is what is left of the cafeteria from the original school building. This building has been re-purposed as a conference room and all purpose area. The sidewalk there connects the High School building to the all purpose building. The courtyard is in between the buildings a bit off the new parking lot.

Maybe those flagstones will be bricks in the future!

Students and parents who were there in school last year during the COVID year were the ones to gather and place the bricks.  The outside border contains blank bricks that were in the original building.

I hope you can make out your name on these bricks.  The pictures were clear on my camera. 

My feet are in a lot of the pictures below. Sorry.... but I didn't want to edit them out because you can make out the bricks under my feet.  

Here I am on the courtyard so you can see the size of it.

This is Mike Scott '67 who has helped me since 2015
