As our mission statement reads: Rochelle Township High School is committed to excellence. What makes RTHS unique are the methods employed to achieve excellence.
Take the sprawling 100-acre campus which opened in August 2004.This $34 million structure was built with a $20.5 million grant and $14 million in bond sales. District taxpayers were not burdened with an increase to finance the project.
