Little Caesars Arena is the home of the Pistons. Their start to the season has been disappointing, Should it be time to start over?

Is it time for the Pistons to tear it down?

December 6, 2019

In today's National Basketball Association (NBA), one is either competing for a championship or not; there is very little in between… unless you are the Detroit Pistons, who have been fighting mediocrity since trading for Allen Iverson in 2009. At the time this article was published, the Pistons have not been up to par to say the least, starting out 8-14 in the first 22 games of the 2019-20 NBA season. That record is good for ninth in East. The question is, should they ride out the storm or just tear it down? Detroit has been in NBA purgatory since the legendary 2004 champi...

Here at RHS, we like to think that our halls are filled with heroes, from standing up to a bully to even offering help to strangers. Today, students and teachers showed their true colors by dressing up for the theme of Avengers: Endgame ( or any hero ) in honor of this spring spirit week. Walking through the halls, you could spot a few Captain America's, maybe an Incredible, and even some Superman's. "I love the spirit days that allow me to wear my Captain America gear. I really enjoy being able to be silly and take fun pictures with friends," junior Abby Barnett...

Adopt Don’t Shop Debate

April 29, 2019

Adopting a dog from a breeder is better than a shelter When it comes to finding a dog a forever home, many people go to breeders. A breeder is someone who breeds livestock, racehorses, along with other animals and plants. There are many benefits of going to a breeder that are available rather than going to adopt from a shelter. With going to a breeder the option to meet the person and see the living conditions is available. Most people want a certain breed of dog as well, and therefore they go to a breeder who specializes in that breed. By going to a breeder, they say all the health issues the parents have ever had, as well as the issues the puppies may have. A lot more general background information on the parents of the dog is provided as well. When going to a shelter, they likely do...

Meditation: Does it really work?

Madison White, Sports Editor

January 15, 2019

So many trends pass by on self help that benefit many in so many ways. Meditation is up for the question this time. What is meditation? According to www.merriam-Webster.com, meditation is to engage in mental exercise (such as concentration on one’s breathing) for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness. To break it down, meditation is to accept one’s thoughts instead of blocking out letting your mind wander with the help of concentrated breathing. I have started meditating to give it a try, and here is my personal experience on how it went, and if I recommend it. There is an app called “Headspace” that offers meditation sessions that caters to your needs in life. When I first started meditation, I did not trust it at all. What was the use of it ...

May 29, 2018

Singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes is a well known world phenomenon, gaining fame in 2013 on the now terminated app vine, posting six second singing videos. This alone made him a social media star, and eventually landed him a record deal with Island Records in 2014. Since then, Mendes has released three studio albums, the most recent one dropping on Friday, May 25. The self-titled album features 14 tracks from the pop star, including the hit single”In My Blood” which was released in early March, along with “Lost in Japan”.

“My My My” starts a new era for Troye Sivan

Madison White, Copy Editor

February 28, 2018

In the world of music, Troye Sivan has definitely been flying under the radar. The last we have seen from him was a feature song called “There For You” with Martin Garrix on April 22nd, 2017. His last album was released on Dec. 4, 2015. It seems like Sivan has fallen into the void… until now. Sivan recently has released his brand new single “My My My” on Jan. 10. The music video for this song is mostly in black and white, which reminds me of an 80’s Michael Jackson music video. The song is upbeat, which is a drastic change from his last album, which has sl...

President Donald Trump’s first year in office was not very shocking

February 12, 2018

President Trump’s first year in the office has been a rollercoaster ride for not only just Americans, but other countries as well. When taking the office, President Trump promised to “Make America Great Again,” but has failed to yet do that. He is leading a country that is more divided than ever. Ever since he took the office; he has banned immigrants from 6 Muslim majority countries from entering the U.S, pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement, caused issues with other countries such as the U.K,- where he asked the Prime Minister, Theresa May, to give him a “warm...
