Robstown High School is an AAA secondary school located on the corner of Hwy 44 & Picker Lane in the Corpus Christi suburb-city of Robstown, with a zip code of 78380.

Robstown High School, which is located in the northwest area of the city, is denoted as having a vocational-technical program offering a wide array of courses such as cosmetology, health care professions, and drafting, among the others. RHS, as it is called, is also known for its financial aid office, with a staff dedicated to finding scholarships, FAFSA awards, and applications for colleges.

The school handles grades nine through twelve. Robstown High School has neighborhood and Advanced Placement programs. RHS primarily serves the city, yet it enrolls students from nearby areas such as Banquete, Calallen, and Tuloso-Midway.

The school has gained fame for its mascot, the "cottonpicker".

Until recent years, Robstown maintained a considerably loose dress code.

The Robstown alma mater is as follows:

"The red and white forever, We'll always stand by you Faithful and united Loyal, brave, and true, The red and white forever, Proudly we will fly, Our alma mater, Robstown High!"

The Robstown fight song is as follows:

"Hail to the Robstown High School, Lift her colors high, Hail to the Robstown spirit, That will never die, Cheer our team on to victory, When defeat seems nigh, Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail to Robstown High!"

Schools that feed into Robstown include:

Hattie-Martin, Lotspeitch, Ortiz, Salazar, San Pedro, Seale

RHS also takes students from the city's private schools: St. Anthony's Catholic, Robstown Christian School
