Testimonial
“The reasons I wanted to come to Rugby and have stayed here are because of the size of the school and the town. It's one of the larger class B schools in the state and yet still small enough to know the students. We are a large enough to function without having to combine with area schools for activities. Rugby is a community with things to do, such as having a movie theatre, our own clinic and hospital as well as a grocery store and other shopping.” - Deb Goven Ely Title I Teacher
