Built in 2001, RCES incorporated the four former schools in Richland County (Central, Cherry, Claremont, and Silver) onto one property.

The school offers athletic programs in basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, cheerleading, track, and cross country.
Students from RCMS as well as St. Joseph's School, also in Olney, transition to RCHS to attend secondary education.
Notable alumni include Brittany Johnson, a guard for the Ohio State University women's basketball team.
