At Roswell High School we have a variety of different things offered, from medical and all the way to cooking. We have new clubs every year and as the year goes they get better and better. The teachers are super nice and fun to be around. They always try to make the learning experience fun and exciting.

My experience at Roswell School was great, the best parts of high school for me was hanging out with friends and making memories. Some of the worst parts about roswell high school was when i didnt go to all of the games and not go out with friends in my first few years. I would like there to be more career type of classes like engineering classes or computer science classes.

I hated the schedule, the fact that it was a closed campus, and the late procedure. There are no good things about Roswell High. My senior year I literally miss SO much class just because of the schedule and late procedure. There is also so purpose for a closed campus other than power. Also unless my hat is obstructing the view of a student there is no reason I should be made to take it off.

RHS is a student centered campus. I can honestly say that this campus is filled with teachers who honestly love kids and strive to provide a rigorous coursework of study for every student. RHS is a community of learners surrounded by a faculty that strives to create lifelong learners and thinkers.
