Rockville High School (Maryland)

Rockville High School is a comprehensive, four-year high school in Rockville, Maryland, United States. The school was founded in 1968 and 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 2003-2004 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.
