Histori
Roswell High School was first opened in 1949, and is the second oldest secondary school in Fulton County north of the Chattahoochee River. Like the city of Roswell, this school bears the name of Roswell King. King established a cotton mill that would eventually become the backbone of the city's economy for much of its early history. Its immediate predecessor to Roswell High School is the Roswell Public School on Mimosa Boulevard, which has grades 1-10 and opened in 1892 after the Georgia General Assembly passed Law No. 51 on December 20, 1892, allowing the city to choose board tax schools and tax levies to support schools. Students from outside the city limits are required to pay tuition. In 1896, city councils and mayors were authorized by the state to spend $ 5,000 in bonds to build new school buildings.
In 1914, the existing school was torn down and two new buildings were built. Because the schools were separated at the time, a two-story brick building was built on Mimosa Boulevard to accommodate white students in grades 1 to 10, and a one-room wooden building was built on Pleasant Hill Avenue for black students in grades 1 through 7. The facilities Pleasant Hill also serves as a meeting place for local lodgings and Pleasant Hill Baptist Church until the church built its own facility across the street in 1922. Class 11 was added in the 1920s to the Mimosa Boulevard school. Black students who advanced past grade 7 can then attend the Washington High School in Atlanta.
During the Great Depression, the city of Roswell was annexed to Fulton County of Cobb County as part of a 1932 combination with Milton County and Campbell County. Roswell's students in the tenth and eleventh grades were then sent to Milton High School in Alpharetta or North Fulton College in Atlanta to complete their secondary education (which ended after completing grade 11). In 1949, the Mimosa Boulevard building was destroyed, and a new school was built on existing grounds to allow the 10th and 11th grades to return to Roswell as the inaugural Roswell High School. G.W. Adams is the first principal and oversees the addition of more space to school over the next few years. During this growth, the Baptist, Presbyterian and Methodist churches are also located on Mimosa Boulevard which is used for additional grade homes. Also in 1949, high school began participating in athletics with university basketball teams and other high school extracurricular activities. In 1950, Roswell High School added 12th grade as part of statewide standards for high school, and played the first university football season. The first graduation class graduated in the spring of 1951.
Construction begins near Alpharetta Highway near Roswell City Hall currently on a new campus. The facility opened in the fall of 1954 and allows secondary schools (grades 8-12) to physically separate from primary school (grades 1-7). The second campus of Roswell High was designed by Stevens & amp; Wilkinson, who designed the school design and took advantage of "finger plans" to improve school function. It has a capacity of 400 students and has facilities for industrial art, shop, music room, science laboratory, art room, indoor gymnasium, athletic field, soccer stadium, and track. School began to be crowded in the early 70s. This forced Fulton county to set up Crestwood High School (Georgia) to revive. The school also revived similar densities at the North Springs Charter School of Science and Science. Primary schools remain in the Mimosa Boulevard building as the Roswell Elementary School. In 2007, the base brick building is part of an expanded structure still owned by the Fulton County School System, and it is located at Crossroads Second Chance North Alternative School until 2013 and still serves as Teaching Museum North. Roswell High remained on the campus of Alpharetta Highway until the fall of 1990 when the current campus on King Road was opened.

Current Campus
The current campus is the third occupied by Roswell High School. Opened in the fall of 1990 on King Road, not far from Highway 92, with the registration of nearly 2,000 students.

On February 2, 2007, Roswell High held a groundbreaking ceremony for an expansion project. The expansion of 23,851 square feet (2,215.8 m 2 ) added ten new classrooms, including the science lab and the new band room. This increases the school to 1,900 official student capacities with the state. The addition also reduces some of the need for portable classrooms, but portable units are still used after the expansion to handle Roswell enrollment (2400 students in 2007). Construction officially commenced on February 5, 2007. This addition was paid with a special purpose one-dimensional local sales tax (SPLOST) tax. Additional enhancements to RHS for additional safety and security features, improved technology and curriculum equipment, and improved athletic facilities should be implemented as part of the third SPLOST, approved by Fulton County voters on March 20, 2007.
In 2014, Roswell High School begins renovating its main entrance. The main office and front desk were moved as a security measure for administration. Security offices were also moved to be near the main entrance. Due to renovations, one trailer has been removed from the property.

In total the Roswell Hornets have won 19 state team championships in 23 school sports.
Since its inception, Roswell's traditional rival is Milton, the oldest middle school in northern Fulton County. The Roswell/Milton series is the most played high school football competition on the Atlanta metro, with the 2014 game marking the sixth meeting between the schools. Both have competed since 1950 in every sport offered by two schools. In 1963 there was a fight between school fans in a football game and the series was banned for several years. The football series was then undisturbed from 1970-1997 but temporarily ended when GHSA moved Milton to another Territory, which made scheduling difficult. The series was restored in 2000 when Milton and Roswell were back in Region 6-AAAAA. Since 1950, Roswell has achieved a 34-21-1 advantage over their courtesy in football, including winning seven straight from 2001-2007. The 2008 meeting was won by Milton, 20-19. Roswell won a record set of 14 straight games from 1983-1995. Roswell's first soccer match was against Milton, a 14-0 victory on September 22, 1950.

In other sports with the record available, Roswell's soccer team has gone 5-0-1 against Milton since 2004 while the women's soccer team has gone 2-4 against the Eagles. 2008 saw the Hornet football team record a sweep over Milton Eagles for the second year in a row. On October 22, 2008, the Atlanta Journal Constitution named the Roswell-Milton competition as the seventh best football competition in the state. The reasons cited include age competition and combat in 1963. In 2013 rivals play for the country's baseball championships. Milton eventually won the state championship in extra round with one run in front of an overflowing crowd. It marks the second year in a row a team of competing schools are facing to a state title, because the women's lacrosse team does it in 2012.

Roswell was previously a member of Region 6-AAAAA since it was founded in 2000 with the addition of AAAAA class, although Roswell's rival opponents have varied. Prior to joining AAAAA, Roswell was in Region 6-AAAA for 12 years from 1988 to 1999. Current members of Region 6 include the competitors of the county Alpharetta, Centennial, and Milton. The teams from neighboring Cobb are Campbell, Kell, Lassiter, Pope, Walton, and Wheeler. Reorganizing the area for the 2010-2011 academic year makes Roswell in Region 6, along with Alpharetta, Centennial, and Milton.

On Wednesdays or Thursdays of Sunday Homecoming, students decorate school spaces by class to reflect dance themes. Each hall is judged, with the winning class receiving spirit points. On match days, the Roswell Marching Band played a school struggle as they marched through the hall. The song of Roswell's struggle is a version of "Washington and Lee Swing." The seniors dress camouflage every Friday for school and for soccer games.
The 2010 senior class brings the tradition of "Flour Toss" to Roswell. At every Friday soccer game, students anticipate kicks, each holding a handful of white flour.
