Richfield High School (Waco)

Richfield High School was a school formerly located in Waco, Texas. The school began construction in 1960 and opened in September 1961. It was situated on the site of a World War I army airfield, Rich Field.

In 1986, Richfield was consolidated with two other high schools in Waco ISD — Waco High School and Jefferson-Moore High School. This merged school, the current Waco High School, is housed in the former Richfield building on N. 42nd Street in Waco.

The Richfield school mascot was the Ram and school colors were scarlet (red) and gray.

The most celebrated athletic success at Richfield was back-to-back Texas state girls' basketball championships in 1984 and 1985. The Richfield Ramblers (changed from Rams) completed both seasons with undefeated records and had a combined record of 66–0, one of the greatest accomplishments in Texas high school basketball history.

Notable alumni

gollark: I'm not sure I'd call that general intelligence.
gollark: AI can't really match humans at general intelligence tasks which we have to think hard about. It absolutely can do much of what we *intuitively* do - categorising cats and dogs, basic language processing, whatever - and nobody is flying planes by manually reasoning through the physics of their actions.
gollark: If they're inferring that from observations of some form, so can a computer system.
gollark: How is a human sensing that exactly?
gollark: Armchairs are easy. Just install balloons.
