Rothesay High School is a high school located in Rothesay, New Brunswick, Canada. It is part of Anglophone South School District.
Rothesay High School fills the educational needs for students in grades 9 through 12. The population of 517 students reside primarily in the town of Rothesay. The staff includes 38 teachers, 16 Teachers’ Assistants, 2 secretaries, a librarian and 4 custodians. The school offers instruction in both French Immersion and English. The building itself is one story with a brick façade, located across the street from the former District 6 offices, and near both the Rothesay Arena and Harry Miller Middle School. It was constructed in 1951 and was called Rothesay Regional High School (RRHS), and served students in grades 7-12. In 1963 Rothesay Regional High School relocated in what is now Harry Miller Middle School and this building became Rothesay Junior High School. In 1991 the building was damaged by fire. It was subsequently renovated and expanded, reopening in September 1992 as the new Rothesay Junior High School. In 1997 the building was redesignated as a high school, graduating its first class in 2000. Rothesay High's first principal was Richard Forrester, who retired in 1998, the school's inaugural year. From 1998-2012, Roger Brown served as principal. Upon his retirement, Stephanie Tomilson became the school's third principal.
Student council Representatives are selected each spring to govern the student body during the following school year. In addition to the normal positions of President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary, there are also 2 Public Relations, a Spirit rep, and representatives elected from each grade level.
The Grad Class Representatives are similar to the Student Council however they focus more on planning events for the Graduating Class. Two Grad Class Presidents are elected from the two candidates who receive the most votes.
Each year RHS's Varsity basketball teams compete against their rivals from KVHS in this Memorial Basketball Game. The location of the game alternates each year between the KVHS and Rothesay Gyms. The girls varsity teams play their game first followed by the boys game. Proceeds from the game provide a scholarship for a student.
