Contents
In 2005, the administration introduced a new grade level policy: the number of credits a student has determines their academic grade level. Under the new policy, a student with less than eight credits is designated as part of the freshman class, regardless of age.
Also introduced in 2005 was the "Spartan Crew" program designed to orient new freshmen to RHS and ease the transition from middle school to high school. This program is comparable to "link programs" currently in place at other area high schools. Each team consists of seniors, and each member of the team is in charge of 3-10 freshman, who become that senior's "crew".

Richfield High School is a member of the Metro West Conference in the Minnesota State High School League.
