Greetings, Falcons! Fall is here, at least for a little while. For the final week of early voting, the Daily Bond Fact at Five will focus on all the great things happening in Royal. Yesterday, we posted the fact at 2pm to change things up a bit. It featured Chase Jacob and discussed why he teaches at Royal. Today's spotlight is on the Royal 2019-2020 athletes. Read on for just a few of the many accomplishments we saw from our student athletes! There are countless others! Congratulations to all of our Falcon athletics for their incredible accomplishments both on and off the playing field!
