Roseville Area High School (RAHS) is a public high school located 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.
RAHS occupies the site of a high school known as Alexander Ramsey High School. In 1986 Alexander Ramsey High School and Frank B. Kellogg High School were merged because of declining enrollment at both schools. The new high school used the facilities from the Alexander Ramsey complex while the former Kellogg High School eventually became Roseville Area Middle School.
Plans originally called for the construction of a new high school (replacing both the Ramsey and Kellogg school buildings) on district-owned land near Lake Owasso. However, after a failed voter referendum on financing the proposed new school, 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 were 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 was only 10-12th grades with 9th grade at Roseville Area Middle School. On completion of the construction in fall 1997, the 9th grade was moved to RAHS.
RAHS operates on a trimester system and allows students to take a maximum of five credits each trimester. RAHS offers a variety of Advanced Placement (AP), College in the Schools (CIS), Honors, Connections and standard track curriculum.
