Richmond High

What Richmond High does

Richmond Community Schools is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 35276 Division Road in Richmond, Michigan, operating as a Michigan state government entity under the oversight of the Michigan Department of Education and the Macomb Intermediate School District. The district serves students from early childhood through grade 12 across five sites: Richmond High School (grades 9-12), Richmond Middle School (grades 6-8), Will L. Lee Elementary School (K-5), the Early Learning Childhood Center (ages 3-5), and an additional Lee Classroom location. Governance rests with an elected Board of Education, and the district is led by Superintendent Pasquale Cusumano. Student services include academic instruction, athletics, counseling, multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), Title I support, language line translation services, and college preparation resources.

The district's technology footprint is built entirely on third-party procurement rather than proprietary development. The core stack comprises Schoology as the learning management system (deployed at the middle school level), Microsoft Office 365 for staff email, document collaboration, and productivity, Clever for single sign-on across student resources, and Gaggle for student safety monitoring. Supplemental educational content platforms include ABCYa, Cool Math, Khan Academy, MobyMax, Kahoot, Epic!, and Accelerated Reader. No proprietary platforms, custom software, APIs, SDKs, or AI/ML models are built or maintained by the district. Engagement channels are limited to organic social (Facebook RCSD Blue Devils, X @RHSBlueDevils1, YouTube RichmondTV12), district newsletters, a parent mobile application, and a public Facility Use rental system.

As a government entity rather than a commercial enterprise, the district receives revenue from Michigan state per-pupil foundation allowance, local property tax levies, federal categorical aid (Title I, Head Start), state-funded GSRP preschool allocations, modest tuition payments from 3-year-old preschool families who do not qualify for GSRP, and facility rental fees collected via the Facility Use portal. K-12 academic instruction is tuition-free. The primary customer segments are K-12 students and families residing in the district (primary), early childhood families with children ages 3-5 (secondary), and Board of Education members and community stakeholders (governance). Distribution is direct enrollment via district residency, open enrollment, early childhood registration, and childcare center enrollment. Richmond Community Schools is not a private equity, venture capital, or institutional investment vehicle; it is a publicly funded government institution.
