Ruamrudee International School will celebrate its Jubilee with a host of special events in the 2007-2008 academic year.

The 50th Anniversary opening ceremony will be held in August at the old campus downtown, followed by an alumni homecoming, gala dinner, golf tournament, and car rally. The closing ceremony for the Jubilee celebrations will take place at the present campus in May 2008.

50th Year Community Service Projects
To commemorate 50 years of caring education, the school has expanded community outreach to include activities at the national and region-wide level.

Find out about the regionwide peace-building project RIS is organizing in cooperation with UNESCO-Bangkok and the Rotary Center for Peace and Conflict Studies Chulalongkorn University. The Prison Learning Center is another unique community outreach program initiated by RIS to honor the history of caring service at our school.

School Improvements
At this exciting time in the school’s history and progress, RIS has also embarked on extensive school-wide renovations to improve the learning atmosphere.

• Godbout Hall is getting an extensive makeover to become an 840-seat, state-of-the-art, multi-purpose facility.
• By 2007 all high school students will attend school with individual laptops.
• The school is on its way to becoming fully wireless, with LCD projectors in classrooms and modern computer and multi-media centers throughout the campus.

50th Anniversary Memory Book and DVD
We invite the global RIS family to share mages and memories of friends – alumni, former faculty and staff, priests who embodied the spirit of Ruamrudee. Some of our great people are remembered on this website: Fr. Harry Thiel and Mr. Glenn Gamble.

The school would be grateful for original photographs and memorabilia to include in the 50th year memory book and DVD. The memory book and DVD will be distributed at the 50th Anniversary Closing Ceremony in 2008 and may be ordered for postal delivery.
