- The majority of our students participate in numerous and varied extra-curricular activities, including boys and girls athletics, through participation in the Wright County Conference and The Minnesota State High School League as well as a renowned vocal/instrumental music program
- Rockford Middle School has been named a National Green Ribbon School for its environmental efforts
- The community provides excellent additional support for its students, their schools and their activities each year. Groups such as ISD 883 Dollars for Scholars, Rockford ISD 883 Education Foundation, the Rocket Boosters and Music Partners provide invaluable assistance
