RCS band director, music teacher Rayfus Parham retires
As a grand finale for his 21 years as Roanoke Catholic School music teacher and
band director, Rayfus Parham directed his final concert May 23 to a standing
room only crowd.
At the program, Principal and Head of School Patrick Patterson announced that in
recognition of his service “and the hundreds of lives Mr. Parham has touched
with his talents through the performing arts, Roanoke Catholic School has named
a new scholarship in his honor. A $1,000 annual scholarship will be awarded for
the next 21 years to a student who exemplifies the qualities and values so
evident in the work that Mr. Parham shared with all of us for more than two
decades."
Mr. Parham will be missed, but his legacy, and music, will live on.
