To accomplish these goals, Ross
envisions special career academies at
RHS. “Students who are interested in
forestry, engineering, the medical
profession, technology, hospitality, or
whatever, will have a curriculum that
gives them direction. I want them to see
the reason they are in particular classes
and understand how they will use this
education beyond high school. And more
than that, I want them to be confident
that they can succeed in whatever they
choose to do.”
Coach Brian Campbell, who
most recently was offensive coordinator
for Daphne High School, also sees
unlimited potential at RHS. In addition,
he views his new position at the school as
a chance to help his own community.
“This is where I live; I’ve been here
since 1995, and I want these kids to
have the same opportunities as any other
child in Baldwin County to be winners.
I think it’s the right time to build this
program here.”
Building the football program will be
a challenge, Campbell admitted. “It’s
important that we increase our strength
and speed to be able to compete in 6A
football. We want to make sure that
everyone in our city leagues, middle
schools, freshman teams, and varsity has
the opportunity and the available tools to
make them successful. Our goal is to get
better each and every week—and then,
to make the playoffs.”
Campbell thinks the program has the
potential to be one of the best in the
county. “That’s our goal, and that is
going to take a lot of hard work from
everyone associated with this program,
including players, parents, coaches, and
our community.”
Campbell agrees with Ross that kids
need to know that they can accomplish
anything. “You’ve just got to show them
you care, and show them they can be
successful.”
