Rock Hill High School is a public high school in Frisco, Texas in the United States. Although the school is located in Frisco, it mostly serves students from Prosper and McKinney. Rock Hill is one of three high schools in Prosper ISD, the others being [[Prosper High School] and [Walnut Grove High School]].
History
Before 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.[1] 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.[2] This school became Rock Hill, and the school opened in the 2020-2021 school year.
The bottom half of Prosper High School's zone was 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. Because the school opened during the coronavirus pandemic, students also had the option of attending school in person or taking lessons virtually. This was exclusive to the 2020-2021 school year.
Rock Hill opened as a UIL Class 5A school but was reclassified as a 6A school starting from the 2022-2023 school year. It is one of the smallest 6A schools in the state in terms of enrollment.[3]

As of 2022, Rock Hill High School is a part of 6A Region 1 District 5. Other schools in this conference are Allen High School, Braswell High School, Guyer High School, Little Elm High School, McKinney High School, McKinney Boyd High School and Prosper High School.
