Ritenour High School decided to build a movie theater in the auditorium.

The district has made this decision official and is using this as a reward for kids who have a 4.0 GPA or higher. This is still in progress and will be up by spring of 2024.

RMC will be the new name of the theater, and the district will be taking the stage off and remodeling the whole thing, even the seats. The seats will have a built in screen and students will be able to recline them.

It will be like any other movie theater. It would even play rated R movies, but only seniors can watch them.

In addition to having a 4.0 GPA or higher, students who have perfect attendance will get extra privileges. They can use it when they have free time in class. Students can also recommend movies to put on. There will also be snacks that will be sold at the concession stand.

Students are excited to earn their spot and get to go to the movie theater.

“It’s going to be crazy. It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be lit, it’s going to be a party. It’s going to be wild. We’re going to get crazy,” sophomore Geraldine Briones said.

As a result of the RMC being installed, the theater, band, orchestra and choir will now have to perform in the big gym.

Each of the groups was doing too well with their performances and their advisors were worried that the large audiences they were receiving were starting to get to their heads. They believed it was best to put them somewhere else and not give them a big audience.

“I think it might be a smart choice. Also, it keeps it open for all of us performing art,” Drama teacher Allison Butler said.

Ritenour believes this change will make the school look like a cool and entertaining school to be in. This will attract more kids to the district and it will become the most fun school in America.

“I am so excited to go to Ritenour High school next year. We already know we are the most likable school,” Isabella Nerio said.

Some theater kids like this change and some do not.

“I mean, it’s pretty mid. Like, it’s good, but it’s not because there are kids who like to perform in musicals and plays also there’s band and orchestra and stuff like that. But the good thing about it is because you could probably just sit and chill and watch movies,” freshman Sanaiya Adkins said.
