History
editBefore the opening of Rock Hill High School, there was only one high school in Prosper ISD: Prosper High School. Due to the rapidly increasing number of students in Prosper ISD, the district began construction of a second high school in the summer of 2018.[2] The district spent over $200 million dollars on the construction of the school, the most ever spent on a high school in Texas at the time.[3] This school was named Rock Hill High School, and opened in the 2020–21 school year.
The southern and eastern parts of Prosper ISD's school zone were designated to Rock Hill's new attendance zone. Students already attending Prosper High School who lived in the Rock Hill school zone had the choice of staying at Prosper High School or transferring to the new Rock Hill High School. Rising seniors and juniors set to attend either school were given the opportunity to choose which school to attend. Because the school opened during the coronavirus pandemic, students also had the option of either attending school in person or taking lessons virtually. This was exclusive to the 2020–21 school year.
Rock Hill opened as a UIL Class 5A school but was reclassified as a 6A school starting from the 2022–23 school year. It was one of the smallest 6A schools in the state in terms of enrollment.[4]
With Walnut Grove's confirmed opening, some Rock Hill students were rezoned for Walnut Grove. Rising seniors were given the option to continue attending Rock Hill, even if they lived within Walnut Grove's attendance boundaries. Rising freshmen, sophomores, and juniors were not given this option.[5] In the 2022–23 school year, Rock Hill's first principal, Dustin Toth, stepped down from his position in order to become the first principal at Walnut Grove instead. Assistant principal Terry Mouton replaced Toth as Rock Hill's principal.[6]
