At RES, we believe in planting seeds of success early—and college is one of many bright paths our Eagles can soar toward!



April 22nd is National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day. ❤️ We wanted to take time to recognize and appreciate all the school bus drivers in Rusk ISD. They safely transport all of our students to school and back every day and make sure they start and end the day with a smile and a friendly face!!! Thanks for all you do!!!!


RES Families! As we gear up for an exciting spring full of testing, field trips, and special student events, please note that our campus will be closed to guests on the dates listed on the flyer. These closures help ensure our students can fully enjoy their learning experiences without interruption. We appreciate your understanding and support as we continue to provide a safe and focused environment for our students. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community!


Our fierce and fabulous mascot wants to remind our 3rd grade students as they soar into STAAR testing today to do so with confidence, courage, and RES pride! We know they’re ready to ROCK the test!


Happy Earth Day!
Today we celebrate the beauty of our planet and remind ourselves of the responsibility we share to protect it. Whether it’s planting a tree, reducing waste, or simply appreciating nature, every action counts. Let’s work together for a greener, cleaner future—starting right here in Rusk!


Our amazing 3rd graders are ready to shine!
Tomorrow kicks off STAAR testing, and we couldn’t be more proud of the hard work, growth, and determination they’ve shown all year long. You’ve got this, kiddos! Remember:
