Roseville Area High School

Roseville Area High School is a public high school in Roseville, Minnesota. It serves Roseville and the surrounding communities of Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, and Shoreview. RAHS is the only comprehensive public high school in Roseville Area School District 623.HistoryRAHS occupies the site of a high school known as Alexander Ramsey High School. In 1986 Ramsey High School and Frank B. Kellogg High School merged because of declining enrollment at both schools. The new high school used the facilities from the Ramsey complex while the former Kellogg High School became Roseville Area Middle School.Plans originally called for the construction of a new high school (replacing both Ramsey and Kellogg) on district-owned land near Lake Owasso, but after the voter referendum on financing the proposed school failed, it became necessary to expand and remodel the existing Roseville Area High School instead. The land held by the school district was sold and the proceeds used to finance the construction at RAHS. The community built on the sold land is now known as Owasso Hills.During the 1986-87 school year RAHS operated on two campuses, with both East Campus (the former Kellogg site) and West Campus (formerly Ramsey) serving grades 9-12. From 1987 to 1997, RAHS had only 10th-12th grades, with 9th grade at Roseville Area Middle School. On completion of the construction in fall 1997, the 9th grade was moved to RAHS.
