the Senior Trip
Field Trip to the Mississippi Delta
On Wednesday, November 5th, Mr. Todd, Fish Robinson, and I took the 11th and 12th graders to the
Mississippi Delta on a trip highlighting modern U.S. history, art, music, and culture. The first stop was in
Clarksdale. The original plan was to tour a cotton gin and visit with a farmer; however, the weather was not
cooperative, so we took a “detour” courtesy of Mr. Dan Crumpton. We met him at Ground Zero and then
went to downtown Clarksdale to meet up with Mr. Bubba O’Keefe. As he took us on a tour of several
historical buildings, he challenged the students to realize their personal passions and to pursue them with
God’s guidance.
When we left Clarksdale, we headed to Merigold. We were treated to a tour of “Po Monkey’s” juke joint by
Mr. “Monkey” (Willie) himself. The next stop on the trip was at McCarty Pottery Studio in Merigold. The
staff there was able to enlighten us on not only the history of their business, but also on interesting facts
about the Delta. Mr. Lee McCarty (who is 91 years old!) came out for a rare visit to meet our students! We
drove into Cleveland for lunch at The Warehouse restaurant and did a quick drive-through tour of Delta
State University and Cleveland. From there, we traveled to Dockery, which is one of the possible
“birthplace of the blues”. Next, we went to Indianola to tour the B.B. King museum. We finished our tour
with a trip to Greenwood and dinner at the Crystal Grill before coming back to Oxford.
We had a fabulous time and learned so much. God truly blessed our time there with each other and with
those He placed in our path. Mississippi is a treasure-trove of culture, history, art, and music. We were
grateful to be able to experience a small portion of it and to meet some of the real-life characters that help
make it so unique.
Because He first loved us,
Mrs. Robinson
While thinking of what I wanted to say in my newsletter, the month of
November stuck out to me. It is a month that allows us to reflect on
things that we are thankful for in our lives. I am most thankful for a God
that sent his son to die on the cross for me. I am eternally thankful for
my salvation through God’s son Jesus Christ. I am also thankful for my
family and friends, and ever so thankful for the opportunity to teach at a
wonderful school, such as Regents. I have enjoyed my students so
much, and also getting to know my fellow co-workers.
This week in bible, we are focusing on Genesis 18-19, Sodom and
Gomorrah. In history, we will be studying Amenemhet and the Temple of
Karnak. We are continuing to read Little House on the Prairie, focusing
on chapters 16-19. In grammar, we will be covering pronouns and
subject pronouns. Also, in science we will be learning about the stem of
a plant and its functions.
I have truly enjoyed my first semester at Regents, and look forward to
the remainder of the school year. God Bless.

Dear RSO Families,
What an excellent meeting we had Monday night as we
spent time together looking at where we've been, are, and
are going. I appreciate the opportunity to serve you as the Headmaster of this
school. The goal since the founding of the school was that we would be gospel
centered and classically driven. These have been non-negotiables since its
founding. I speak for my staff when I say that we believe this is the best way to
train young people from Pre K - 12th grade. Monday night as we addressed
parents, Micah Messersmith, Jake Todd, Lindsey Manickavasagam, Brady
Williamson, and I spoke about why we love what we do at RSO and how this
translated into day to day life as your servants.
Listening to each person really inspired me in a different way. As we concluded the
meeting, I was wishing that my children had had an RSO education. The influence
of the adults on this campus on young people will be life changing. Whether it is
Hayley Gregory teaching Biology, Dr. Wayne Prather teaching Physics, or Stacy
Barnes teaching Pre-Calculus, our young people are being challenged to
scientific/mathematical greatness. However, academic greatness without the culture
of godly adults nurturing your children is not what Jesus has called us to as
families.
I want both the academic greatness that is rooted in great teaching and spiritual
vitality, modeled by a gospel centered approach to life. Being completely candid,
this year this is occurring each day on our campus.
It’s a pleasure to serve you and your family,
Dr. Johnson
