Campus
The current campus is the third that Roswell High School has occupied and opened in the fall of 1990 on King Road, just off of Highway 92, with an enrollment of nearly 2,000 students. As of 2007, it is the oldest high school building in North Fulton. The new campus was expanded with a football stadium and softball field added in 1994 and an auditorium in 1995, paid for by the RHS Foundation. The campus includes: science, computer, video, and cosmetology labs; baseball and softball fields, a stadium for football and soccer, a lacrosse field, an additional practice field, a dome style gymnasium, a cross country trail, and lighted tennis courts for athletics. In 2008 the Roswell gymnasium was named one of the top high school gyms in the nation. Cited was the domed rotunda, the hanging four sided scoreboard, and locker room facilities.
On February 2, 2007, Roswell High had a groundbreaking ceremony for an expansion project. The 23,851-square-foot (2,215.8 m2) expansion will include 10 new classrooms including science labs and a new band room. Once completed the school will have a 1,900 student capacity, and will eliminate the need for several of the portable classrooms. Construction officially began on February 5, 2007. The addition is being paid for by a one cent Special-purpose local-option sales tax (SPLOST). Additional improvements to RHS for additional safety and security features, technology and curriculum equipment enhancements, and athletic facilities upgrades will also be implemented as part of third SPLOST approved by Fulton County voters on March 20, 2007.
