Rosemont High School was one of the first high schools created in the District 196 Educational board. As the population in the area increased, Rosemount was given the "call" by the city to branch off into another high school, making Apple Valley High School. Rosemount got "the call" twice more to branch off into Eagan High School and Eastview High school, their "division rivals".
In the mid-1900s, the Carroll family donated a large tract of undeveloped forest north of one of their farms to Rosemount High School on the condition that it never be sold or developed other than the minimal amount necessary to support walking paths. The area located on the grounds of RHS is known as "Carroll's Woods" and serves as a recreational area and lesson space for students. It is connected to the city's Schwarz Pond Park and the Schwarz Pond beside the High School.

At a December pep rally in 2011, the school's sports teams captains were lined up blindfolded in the gymnasium, and were told they would be kissed by a "special someone". The students were then kissed by their parents, with one mother even placing her son's hand on her backside, and another student describing his mother as having "luscious lips" after kissing her. The prank received substantial complaints, which prompted Principal John Wollersheim to issue an apology.[3] It was not the first time such an event had been staged—having been done six or seven years earlier—and Tony Taschner, a district spokesman, stated that no disciplinary action was planned.[4]
