RHS Principal Joshua Fuchs Resigns:
On Tuesday afternoon, May 15, 2012, Joshua Fuchs, Principal at Richfield High School, announced his resignation. With the district for just one year, Fuchs emerged from a strong pool of candidates and a process which included interviews with a representative team (including teachers, parents and administrators) and with Superintendent Slotterback.
Fuchs came to Richfield Public Schools from Oakland Technical High School, which is considered the most improved and most popular high school in Oakland due to demonstrated academic success. One Oakland administrator describes Joshua as is in tune with the community and aware of concerns and needs that support sustainable change. That played out in Richfield as well. Joshua has built strong community relationships and will be missed.
In Mr. Fuchs' letter of resignation, he questions whether Richfield is the right match for him. Fuchs states, "This year has been a tremendous amount of learning through the course of the year and I have enjoyed my time in the Richfield community. I wish the Richfield community the best in their continued pursuit of excellence. I look forward to seeing the progress that Richfield makes in the future. I hope that where ever my next leadership position is that I will be able to continue to collaborate with the school district and the community."
Superintendent, Robert Slotterback, continues to admire Mr. Fuchs' unwavering commitment to students. "My primary goal is to empower students with the ability and excitement to learn about new things, deepen understandings and apply critical thinking, which leads to interesting and challenging conversations and refinement of their belief systems," states Fuchs. "While Fuchs' tenure was shorter than anticipated, we have learned much from his presence," adds Superintendent Slotterback.

Richfield High School DECA Team
Our DECA team of Tenzin Sonam, Brenda Portillo, and Dillon Madsen advanced to the National DECA finals Tuesday night with their presentation on how the DECA Spartan Avenue store meets professional operations standards. Only 12 teams of the 113 competing in the event advanced to finals, and Richfield's team received 7th place honors! (Out of 5000 DECA chapters, only 135 across the nation received the National Gold-Level Certification that our Richfield store and DECA team received. 113 of those 135 traveled to Salt Lake City for the national competition.) Three Minnesota teams took part in the School Based Enterprise (SBE) event, with Richfield topping Wayzata and Rogers among other schools in the preliminaries to advance to finals.
