THE website for RJ Reynolds High School Alumni and Friends!

You are at the right place to learn about what great things are happening at RJR, as well as information on the Class reunions (we have been informed of), and of the various initiatives of your RJ Reynolds High School Alumni and Friends organization and the RJR Staff.  Also, we offer links to on-line videos of recorded school performances staged at Reynolds Auditorium (such as concerts performed by RJR's Band, Orchestra and the Choirs, the two schools plays, and The Follies).

Reynolds High School became an Arts Magnet school in 2007.  Since then...

• Graduation rates have increased from 63% in 2007 to 87.4% in 2019 (and it should be noted that the State changed the way graduation rates are reported.  RJR's graduation rate is above the district and state average).

• College attendance rates have increased from 74% in 2008 to 87% in 2019!

• Dropout rates have decreased from 7.3% in 2008 to 1.96% in 2018!

• Scholarships have increased from $8.5 million is 2009 to $11 million in 2019!

The words today are the same as in 1949 when they were first written:

If you would like to receive periodic updates from the RJR Alumni, merely send an email to RJRdirectory@aol.com (with the subject line of "add me to the list").  Also, please inform your classmates about this website....so that a lot more of the 41,431 Reynolds High School alumni (as of 2022-2023) will know what great things are taking place "amid the pines."

The RJR Alumni organization has two on-going initiatives:  1) to raise the needed funds to award two $1,000 scholarships every year to deserving seniors   2) to raise the needed funds to award $1,000 every year to the staff person (selected by a vote of their peers) as the Teacher of the Year.
