Rochester High School is the lone comprehensive high school in the Rochester School District, serving a rural area of southern Thurston County roughly 20 miles south of Olympia. The Rochester Union school district was formed in 1906 by consolidating the Jamestown, Rochester, and Grand Mound districts, and the high school graduated its first class in 1918. Today the school enrolls about 615 students.
The Warriors compete in WIAA Class 1A as a member of the 1A Evergreen League in District Four, with school-sponsored sports including football, baseball, basketball, soccer, wrestling, tennis, cross country, track, golf, swimming, fastpitch, volleyball, and girls bowling. The school maintains a long-standing rivalry with neighboring Tenino High School known as the Scatter Creek Showdown.
Academics include Advanced Placement coursework, dual-credit options, and CTE programs serving the district's agricultural and small-town economy. The Rochester School District covers a large geographic footprint that draws students from Grand Mound, Independence Valley, and the Chehalis River bottomlands, and the high school functions as the central community institution for the area.
