Rolla Senior High School is a public secondary school located in Rolla, Missouri, United States. The school's mascot is the Bulldog with the colors of maroon and silver (formerly maroon, gray, and gold). The high school offers many clubs, including Student Council (StuCo) as part of Missouri Associations of Student Councils, Key Club, Octagon Club, DECA, FBLA, FFA, FCCLA, TSA, Math Club, Chess Club, Improvisation Club, Spanish Club, German Club, French Club, Latin Club, and the new addition Link Crew and HOSA Future Health Professionals. There are two student publications at RHS: The Growler yearbook and The Echo newspaper.
Among the high school's predecessor buildings was the Rolla Building that opened in 1871. It was shared with the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in its first year of existence. The college bought the building for $25,000 in 1875 and it remains in use as the school's mathematics library after being extensively renovated.[2]
The present school dates to 1921.[citation needed] In 1989 an addition was made to the high school which nearly doubled its classrooms.[citation needed] Another addition was constructed during the 2016–17 school year to accommodate the mathematics department. For the most part the hard sciences remain in the older portions of the building and other subjects are dispersed in between halls.
The high school started the 2008–2009 year with a new principal, Mr. Nathan Hoven, after the previous principal Dr. Roger Berkbuegler retired after 28 years as the principal of Rolla Senior High School. The current principal is Dr. Jim Pritchett.
Rolla High School's Bulldog Athletic teams compete year-round.
