2009's Fall Fest was a hit! Students, Faculty, the Administration, and citizens of Nacogdoches all came out to enjoy themselves at RHA's Annual Fall Fest. There were various hall and organization booths where children and adults alike could win prizes and compete in games. Following Fall Fest was the Annual Haunted House in the Brophy Center. With an estimated 230+ in attendance at the Haunted House's two hours of operation, this year's Haunted House was truly one that will go down in the books as one of the best we've done.
