Community members are invited to join Rochester Community Schools in celebrating this year’s Charity Week, March 3-8, 2025. The action-packed week provides exciting fundraising opportunities for Camp Kesem, which supports children through and beyond a parent’s cancer with free summer camp opportunities and year-round services. Each year, RCS student leaders work together to select a charity that is personal to them.

Dates for the district calendar are determined through a collective bargaining process between Rochester Community Schools and the Rochester Education Association. Major holiday breaks for the 2025-26 school year are in line with the Oakland County Common Calendar.

The RCS Board of Education has approved the tentative contractual agreement as presented by district administration and the Rochester Education Association (REA). Through the agreement, the district is investing an additional $33 million in RCS teachers over the next three years.

Each year, Rochester Community Schools student council leaders from Adams, Rochester and Stoney Creek high schools organize a combined Charity Week to raise money for a cause that is important to them. This year's beneficiary is Humble Design, Detroit.

Rochester Community Schools teacher, Kelley Cusmano, is the 2024-25 Michigan Teacher of the Year! State Superintendent Dr. Michael F. Rice surprised Ms. Cusmano with the top honor during an assembly with 1,600 students and her colleagues at Rochester High School.
