Rockville High School, August 2006

Rockville High School (RHS) is a comprehensive, four-year high school in Rockville, Maryland, United States. The school opened in 1968 and currently serves 1253 students [1]. The school is the second-oldest high school in the Montgomery County Public Schools system. Earle B. Wood Middle School is the feeder school for Rockville High School.

The student newspaper, The Rampage, was the National Winner in the "High School Publication" category of the 2005 Student Publishing Awards, established by the Association of Educational Publishers (AEP) and sponsored by TIME magazine [2].

The original building underwent renovation starting in the 2002-2003 school year, and was almost completely finished by the start of the 2004-2005 school year. During the two years of renovation, RHS students attended school in Northwood High School; this was before Northwood's recent re-opening.

Rockville High School is the only school in Montgomery County that has a bagpipe band; the band originated at nearby Robert E. Peary High School in 1961 and moved to RHS when Peary High closed in 1984.
