REFI Council Members

2025-2026

Each school in Rockingham County Public Schools is invited to designate one representative to serve on the REFI council. In addition to acting as ambassadors for REFI, the group will serve as a focus group, offering valuable feedback on procedures and the most effective ways to facilitate programs. Their insight and perspectives play an important role in strengthening REFI’s impact.

Council members help communicate REFI activities within their schools, support fundraising efforts for the annual campaign, and introduce REFI to new teachers. They serve as a direct link between REFI and each school, ensuring clear communication and smooth implementation of programs.
