On a spacious campus in southern Rockford, Michigan, students in 10th through 12th grade receive a meaningful education guided by the motto, “Ignite a passion—build a future.” Founded in the early 1990s, Rockford High School is known as an Advanced Placement Achievement District, and it proudly supports students with autism and students in the Cognitive Impaired Program.
Interested students can earn college credit by taking courses from Ferris State University as part of Rockford’s dual enrollment program. This can prepare students for college and help them find a career they are passionate about. The Teen Leadership program encourages student responsibility and leadership in and out of the classroom.
Theatre, art, music and choir programs help students nurture their creativity. Rockford Rams participate in organized sports as a Class A, Ottawa-Kent Red Conference school. Rams compete in field hockey, volleyball, football, tennis and other events. As the final step in the Rockford Public Schools system, Rockford High promotes the district’s mission of helping students learn valuable skills that push them to become lifelong learners.

I've had a great 4 years here. I feel prepared for college and have gotten many great opportunities to grow in my performance ability.

They keep everything organized and know how to make everyone feel welcomed and safe. A lot of sports and diversity.

The best parts of Rockford High School was that they took everything very seriously which I feel has set me up for success. Our sports were all year round, you were expected to get good grades and take advanced classes, there were many opportunities to earn college credits and prepare yourself for the future. The downfalls to Rockford is that there was very little diversity and it felt as though we were all the same.
