What We Do
The Rockdale Magnet Fund is the parent organization “booster club” established to support the students, faculty, staff, and parents of the Rockdale Magnet School for Science and Technology located in Conyers, Georgia. The Magnet Fund provides financial support for all school extracurricular activities, social events, leadership programs, national and international competitions, and non-RCPS-funded capital expenses.
At Rockdale Magnet School, the Magnet Fund supports and host various events throughout the year to support the overall Magnet mission of CHALLENGE, OPPORTUNITY and DISTINCTION. The Fund supports academic/travel opportunities like National Science League, Regional Science Fair, International Science and Engineering Fair, Regional/State Math competitions and many other events throughout the year. The Fund also coordinates fundraising events to support the $150K+ budget for the RMSST including Monster Dash, Poinsettia Sale, and other fundraising efforts. The funds raised also support capital expenditures which are not supported through the normal RCPS budgeting process.
Hello Rockdale Magnet School parents and supporters,
We are in the process of planning the 10th annual Monster Dash 5K Fun Run, our premier fundraising event of the year. This year’s Monster Dash will be back in-person (we successfully went virtual last year!) on Friday, October 29, 2021. We will also have a virtual event linkup at the start of the race to allow all non-local runners to participate regardless of location.
Each of you is invited to register and participate as well as become a sponsor for this worthwhile event. You may register and sponsor at www.rockdalemagnetfund.com.
So, BECOME A SPONSOR and register to run/walk with us. Join us in-person or choose your course, grab your family and friends, get out and get moving. We’re In This Together!
Oh, by the way, for our commemorative 10th year of Monster Dash, we are unveiling our new Monster Dash race logo! We LOVE it!!!!

On Friday, September 10, the Rockdale Magnet Fund sponsored and hosted a free movie event for the students at the Rockdale Magnet School for Science and Technology. We showed the blockbuster Marvel hit, Spiderman: Far From Home. It was a fantastic movie and all of the students had a wonderful time. What a way to celebrate progress reports! Great fun and fellowship (the safe way)!!
