History

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. Corey Ray.
