Richbourg Middle School will host a “farewell celebration” on May 7 starting at 5 p.m.
Many people in Crestview have some connection to the school, either as a former student, a teacher, or as the parent of a student.
My favorite Richbourg memory actually happened at Jack Foster Stadium, but involved Richbourg kids.
This was fall of 2006. The Roadrunners were beating someone by about 30 points in middle school football action. I was on the RMS sidelines covering the game. One of the Roadrunner starters was wondering why coach Chris Sweatt wasn’t going for more points. A teammate — one of the team’s best players — calmly explained to the player that the game was safely in hand and it was time to give the younger players a chance to play.
The reaction by that young man — a sincere desire to want to give teammates a chance to participate — was more impressive than the 30-point win.

I guess it was 83′ 84′ year range when I was in 8th and 9th grade that I attented Richburg. Those were the best years of my life. i had a lot of fun there and had the best teachers. I have been living in callahan, fla. for the past 15 years but I try and keep up with Crestview via the internet and was sad to hear that Richburg will be closing its doors. Teachers there that taught when I was there, thanks>
i was in the 6th grade when richbourg was coming to an end. my favorite memory was the field trips we went on. also all the pep rally’s and the school dances i went to. im going to miss that school. its a wonderful school. i loved it. its sad to let it go. im glad they are not going to tear it down. we put so much school spirit and drama in that school and time.
