School History
-
In 1954 a new school building opened and students moved from the previous Mimosa Boulevard location to their new address on Alpharetta Street. The new award winning design housed 400 students and for the first time provided science labs, industrial arts classrooms, and dedicated facilities for the arts.
Approximatley 2000 students were enrolled when the current facility opened in the fall of 1990. Serving as a valuable resource for the Roswell community, the school continues to this day to enjoy a close relationship with the city of Roswell, as well as many local businesses and civic organizations.
We are Roswell. Go HORNETS!
