[edit] History

Round Lake High School opened its doors in 1954.

Since its opening the high school has made significant changes in its academic curriculum. Together the students and faculty have made a better name for the high school and its community.

In 2003, a new science wing was added, the library and cafeteria were expanded to allow more room, and the front of the school was reconfigured to allow for better parking and motoring.

In 2006, the Schuler Scholarship Foundation was integrated into Round Lake Senior High School. The scholarship program currently has two groups of scholars, a sophomore class and a junior class. The scholarship provides exposure to colleges and cultural events, expanding horizons for many students. At the end of high school, graduating scholars are awarded $20,000 towards a highly selective college.

In 2007, the growing interest in foreign languages has led to the addition of 4 classroom mobiles. And the halls of this fine academic institution have been recently restored.
