[edit] History
The school first opened in 1949 and is the second oldest in Fulton County north of the Chattahoochee River. The immediate predecessor to Roswell High School was the Roswell Public School, which housed grades 1-10 and opened in the 1890s. In 1914, two new structures were built on Mimosa Boulevard to house the school. Since schools were segregated at that time, a two-story brick building was built to house the white students and a one-room wooden building for the black students.[1] As of 2007, the brick building is part of an expanded structure still owned by the Fulton County School System which houses the Crossroads Second Chance North Alternative School and the Teaching Museum North.[1][2]
During the Great Depression, the city of Roswell was annexed into Fulton County[1] and Roswell students in grades ten and eleven were sent to Milton High School in Alpharetta or North Fulton High School in Atlanta. In 1949 an 11th grade was added, allowing the school to hold athletics and other senior high school extracurricular activities, Roswell High School was born. In 1950 Roswell had the first varsity football team and the basketball programs started a year earlier in 1949. Roswell High School added twelfth grade in 1950 and the first graduating class was honored that spring in 1951. Roswell physically separated from the elementary school in 1952. While the primary school remained in the Mimosa Boulevard building as Roswell Elementary, Roswell High School opened a new campus on Alpharetta Highway and remained in that facility until 1990.[3]
[edit] Campus
The current campus is the third that Roswell High School has occupied. The first was a shared facility with Roswell Elementary School until 1954. The second campus was located on Alpharetta Street near the present day Roswell City Hall. It was given an award as one of the three best architecturally designed high school buildings in the southeast for its time. It had a capacity of 400 students and had facilities for industrial arts, shop, music halls, science labs, art room, and athletic fields.[3]
Roswell's current campus first opened in 1990 and is located on King Road, just off of Highway 92 with an enrollment of nearly 2,000 students. The new campus was expanded with a football stadium and softball field added in 1994 and an auditorium in 1995, all paid for by the RHS Foundation. Features include: State of the art science, computer, video, and cosmetology labs. Baseball and softball fields, stadium for football and soccer with Sprinturf artificial turf and video scoreboard, lacrosse field, additional practice field, dome style gymnasium, cross country trail, state of the art track in the stadium, and lighted tennis courts for athletics. Classes are organized by subject in halls labeled by letters. Arts are located in A and AA halls, electives in B hall, Library, ROTC, and Cafeteria on C hall, English in D hall, foreign languages in E hall, social studies in F hall, mathematics in G hall, sciences in H hall, and physical education classes are located in the lower floor along with athletic offices.
On February 2, 2007, Roswell High had a groundbreaking ceremony for its new addition. The 23,851 Square foot expansion will include 10 new classrooms 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.[4] The addition is being paid form by a one cent Special-purpose local-option sales tax (SPLOST).[5]
[edit] Students and Faculty
In the 2006-2007 school year, Roswell's enrollment of 2,436 made it Fulton County's largest school. In that year, the student population was 68% white, 15% African American, 12% Hispanic, and 5% Asian. Roswell has a large immigrant population, including students from Russia and other former Soviet republics, Korea, and African nations. According to 2007 statistics, 92 percent of the school's graduates go on to colleges and universities across the United States.[6] As of 2007, Roswell's faculty had 246 full time teachers, with 85% holding an advanced degree.[7]
[edit] Academics
Roswell High School was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 1997-1998 by the United States Department of Education. It is also designated a Georgia School of Excellence. 26 Advanced Placement Program (AP) Classes are offered and SAT as well as ACT scores regularly exceed the national and state average. RHS is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Georgia Department of Education. It is a part of the Fulton County School System.
For the 2005-2006 school year, Roswell's average SAT score was 1663 with the new SAT scoring system, which ranked Roswell 3rd best in the Fulton County School System and 6th in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The Georgia state average was 1477 while the National average was 1518.[8] In the AP exams, 477 students took the tests in 2005 with 84% receiving the necessary score (3 or higher) to earn college credit. Nationally, only 60% score high enough to earn college credits.[7]
Roswell's academic success has brought national recognition. The school was ranked the #472 school in Newsweek Magazine's top 1,200 schools, ranking Roswell High School in the top 3% nationally. Roswell was third on the list among Fulton County's 12 high schools.[9]
Roswell offers a unique curriculum with many electives not offered anywhere else in the county, causing students to come to the school on hardship cases to get the course offerings they are interested in. The school's unique course offerings include the Career Tech diploma track, robotics, psychology, and foreign languages.[6] Roswell High School's Foreign Language department was honored in the January 2007 issue of Atlanta Magazine for offering the most foreign language courses in the Atlanta area.[10] The Languages Roswell offers are: French, Spanish, Latin, German, and Japanese.
[edit] Career Tech
The Career Tech department at Roswell High is made up of: Broadcast and Video Production, Cosmetology, Family and Consumer Sciences, and Diversified Technology. Through this department students who take three consecutive years of one of the branches can obtain a Career Technology High School Diploma (as opposed to a College Prep Diploma).
[edit] Broadcast and Video Production
The Broadcast and Video Production department is designed to teach students about the television industry. Using a hands-on method, students learn about all aspects of television from preproduction to production to post production. The facility is made up of a working television studio, a large control room, six edit rooms (each equipped with both linear and non-linear editing systems), a radio station, and a normal classroom. Students in the program learn to produce everything from commercials and PSA's to dramas, news shows, and sporting events. The advanced classes produce a weekly news show entitled the Morning Buzz which airs at the beginning of the day. The Broadcast and Video department supports the student-run radio station, WRHS the Hive, the film club, and the yearly School House Rock concert.
[edit] Fine Arts
Roswell High School offers interested students Fine Arts opportunity in Art, Band, Chorus, Drama, and Orchestra. The various groups meet throughout the year as elective classes and extracurricular activities and have many events to entertain and enhance not just the school, but the community at large. These can include but are not limited to performing at football games, murals painted in the school's halls, concerts, plays, and a spring musical jointly put on by the Drama and Choral departments.
[edit] Chorus
The Roswell High School Chorus has enjoyed a long history of success in choral music. Roswell Choruses have performed on numerous occasions for the Georgia Music Educator's Association, and sang at the 2003 Southern Division of the Music Educator's National Conference in Savannah, Georgia. The Singing Hornets have performed concerts to locations including Notre Dame, St. Peter's Basilica, Carnegie Hall, and Disney World. They have performed with numerous orchestras including the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra and Orchestra Atlanta. Each year, the Roswell Choral Music Program receives invitations for students to participate in the Georgia All-State Chorus and the Governor's Honors Program. Ensembles Include: Chamber Singers, Show Choir, Intermediate Mixed Choir, and Women's Choir.[11]
[edit] Drama
Every fall semester, the Roswell High School Drama department sends a group of actors to participate in the regional One-Act Play Competition for 6AAAAA Schools. In 2005, the students performed Jungalbook and adaption of the Edward Mast play. Jungalbook placed sixth. In 2006, the department performed Treasure Island and placed ninth.
[edit] Band
The Roswell marching band preforms for all varsity football games and has competitions throughout the fall as well as parade appearances. The Jazz band meets in place of the marching band in the spring and performs in concerts and community events. Marching Band and Jazz Band meet outside of class after school along with their counter parts, Winter Guard and Color Guard. The band also has symphonic and Wind Ensemble which meet during the school year as classes and have regular performances and compete in music festivals. The Hornet Marching band is undefeated in Class AA and AAA competition over three straight years.
[edit] Hornet Advisory Program
The Hornet Advisory Program (HAP) is a new program being implemented at the school that aims to help freshmen students adjust to high school life. The program brings together faculty advisors, academic counselors, and upperclassmen students to act as mentors to freshmen and acclimate them to Roswell High School. The program meets with students four times a week.[6]
[edit] Extracurricular activities
[edit] Athletics
At Roswell High School, athletic teams are considered an extension of the classrooms and are ambassadors of not only the school, but also the community as a whole. The school's motto, "A Tradition of Excellence", exemplifies the hard work of the student athletes both on and off the field of play. The Roswell High mascot is the Hornet and the school colors are Green, Black, and White. The Hornets compete in 23 sports at the Varsity level, with additional teams competing at the Junior Varsity (JV) level and 9th grade team level. 11 are men's sports, 10 are women's, with 2 being co-ed.
The Hornets have won multiple state titles in athletics, including three each in American Football and Baseball, and two in boys Basketball, the three most popular high school sports in Georgia. In 1970-71 Roswell completed a then-unprecedented threepeat in the GHSA, winning a state title (including a back-to-back campaign in Baseball) in the three above sports within 12 months of each other. Sports Illustrated named Roswell "Sport Capital USA" that year. In total the Roswell Hornets have won 18 team State Championships, 12 State Runner-Ups, and numerous Region titles in the school's 23 sports.
Since its inception, Roswell's traditional rival has been Milton, the oldest high school in northern Fulton County. The two have competed since 1950 in every sport the schools offered. In 1964 a fight broke out between the fans of the schools at a football game and the series was banned for several years. The football series then went uninterrupted from 1970-1997 but was temporarily ended when the GHSA moved Milton to a different Region, which made scheduling difficult. The series was restarted in 2000 when Milton and Roswell were again in Region 6-AAAAA. The Roswell-Milton rivalry is one of the oldest rivalries in the Atlanta Metro area. Since 1960 Roswell holds a 29-10-1 advantage over their archrival in football.[12] In Lacrosse, the series records are the opposite, as Milton has risen to become one of the state's powers and consequently Roswell has a losing record to their arch rival in lacrosse. Perhaps the most even sport in the rivalry is Gymnastics, in which the two teams have combined for ten state titles (six Roswell, four Milton) and for seven years from 1997 - 2003 the two teams won every state championship with the other team usually not finishing far behind.[13]
Roswell also has also developed a strong rivalry with Centennial High School, the city of Roswell's other high school, in which the two teams play for the Roswell Cup in football since 2000. In soccer, Centennial is the bigger rival then Milton. Roswell Football holds a 6-1 record over Centennial.[14] Other significant rivals include Chattahoochee, Lassiter, Alpharetta, and Sprayberry. Blessed Trinity, though not a true rival, sometimes plays Roswell in sports such as soccer. The two schools are less than a mile a part and usually draw a large number of fans when they meet.
For the 2005-2006 school year, Roswell's overall athletic program finished 25th in the state's Directors Cup standings which measures the top athletic programs in the state. When ranking just the boys teams, Roswell finished 13th in the State.[15][16]

[edit] Roswell Hornet Football
Roswell's American Football team is the school's flagship sport and has won three State Championships (1968, 1970, and 2006), 1 State Runner-Up (1956), 10 Region Championships, and has made 26 appearances in the state playoffs.[17] Since 1960 Roswell has a combined record of 334 wins, 172 losses and 5 ties.[18] Roswell football history started in 1950 when a spring practice and game was held. The next season, Roswell posted a 6-2 record including two wins over arch rival Milton.
Coach Bill Yoast began building Roswell's football success when he came to coach the Hornets in 1954. In two years he got Roswell to the 1956 State Championship game, which Roswell lost to Monticello. He stayed at the school until 1961, when he left for Virginia.
Roswell's most successful season was in 1968, when sophomore Quarterback Jeff Bower led the Hornets to a 13-0 undefeated season and the football team's first State Championship. Two years later in 1970 Roswell won a State title with a 12-2 record with Jeff Bower again leading the team.
Roswell's coach with the most wins is Ray Manus, who was head coach for 23 seasons (1975-97).[19] and had a record of 141-102-1.[18] After retiring as head coach and subsequent controversy (see News Events for more), Coach Manus returned to the team as an assistant in 2004 and the stadium was officially named after him that year as well. Though he never won a state title as head coach, Ray Manus was on the coaching staff for all three titles.
In 2006, after 35 year absence from being at the top of the state, the Hornets made a successful return. Roswell started out 4-0 (beating McEachern, Lassiter, Kell and Walton) and reached #1 in the polls before a mid season loss to Wheeler knocked the Hornets out of the AJC polls completely (and #7 in the AP polls).[20] The Hornets bounced back and won five straight games (Chattahoochee, Alpharetta, Milton, Northview and Centennial) and finished the regular season 9-1 and the #2 seed in the playoffs from Region 6-AAAAA (Wheeler, despite a 7-3 record, won the Region Championship and #1 seed due to the win over Roswell as both finished first in their respective divisions of Region 6). Roswell continued to win the first two rounds and quarterfinals of the playoffs (Collins Hill, Brookwood and Houston County) and won the right to play for a State Championship by defeating Tift County in the Georgia Dome state semi-finals. Roswell faced Peachtree Ridge, the #4 seed team from Region 7-AAAAA for the state title. Ironically, had Roswell received the #1 seed, they would have faced Peachtree Ridge in the first round of the playoffs. The game ended in a 14-14 tie, which caused controversy over the state's lack of overtime in a state championship game and the crowning of co-champions.[21]. The Hornets finished the season 13-1-1. Roswell fans have much to look forward to for 2007, as the State Champion Hornets had 11 players earn a position on the All North Fulton team, including 6 juniors who will return for 2007, including junior quarterback Dustin Taliaferro who made the AJC All-State team. Returning Division-1 prospects for the 2007 season include Taliaferro, LB Ebele Okakpu, RB Alex Daniel, WR PJ Beidel, DE Curtis Hazelton, and WR Garrett Embry.
The coaches for the 2006 state championship team include Tim McFarlin (Head Coach), Ray Manus (Offensive Backs and Defensive Ends), Gary Varner (Offensive Line and Offensive Coordinator), Leo Barker (Defensive Backs and Defensive Coordinator), Pete Poulos (Linebackers), Wayne Smith (Offensive Backs and Assistant Head Coach), John Coen (Receivers) Andy Schultz (Defensive Backs), Dennis Blackstone (Defensive Line), Justin Sanderson (Offensive Line), and Jim Broadway (Special Teams). [22]
Current head coach Tim McFarlin has led the Hornets since 1998 and has a record of 72-31-1. He has led the team to seven state playoffs, two region championships, and 1 state championship. In 2006 he was named State AAAAA Coach of the Year.

One Roswell golfer played the entire tournament with a patch over one eye due to an injury.[26] The coach for the 1990 State Championship was then head football Coach Ray Manus. Coach Tim McFarlin led the 2006 State Runner-Up team just seven months before taking the football team to the 2006 State Championship.

[edit] Lacrosse
Roswell's lacrosse team is considered to be one of the founders of the sport in the state of Georgia. Along with rival Centennial, Roswell became one of the first two public schools in the state to offer the sport in 1999. Roswell was the host of the first GHSA sponsored tournament in May of 2002. Further, the school was one of only six to field a women's team in 1999, along with Centennial and several private schools.[27] The 2006 Boys Lacrosse team made the State playoffs for the first time by finishing second in their region and made it to the second round.
[edit] JROTC
Roswell High School offers a Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program. The mission of JROTC is not to recruit students into the armed forces, but to motivate young people to be better citizens. The JROTC program offers opportunities to help students improve their grades, help them be more responsible, and to hone their leadership skills. The program at Roswell High School also offers many extracurricular activities. These include the drill team, in which cadets, or students in the JROTC program, learn how to properly follow orders by executing various complex series of commands given by the drill team captain. The raider team is a team to improve the physical fitness of cadets; they go through many exercises included in PT, physical training, such as push ups, sit ups, pull ups, flexed arm hang, crunches, the one mile run, or litter carry. In rifle team, cadets practice their marksmanship by shooting competition air rifles at targets. There are three positions that the rifle team uses to fire accurately. These three are standing, kneeling, and the prone positions. The sabre and color guards are used to present the colors at events, or to honor people of great importance.
