I am honestly overwhelmed by the momentum this has gained so quickly. This response belongs entirely to you and the memories you have held onto for all these years.

At the previous school board meeting, our superintendent stated that the cost of "rebranding" the schools would be $130,000 for each of the 4 buildings. I thought the idea was to save money, not throw away over a half a mil on an unnecessary name change.
I personally saw this happen to my school, they consolidated with other school districts, named the sports teams Storm, and it never again felt like my school. I hate to see this happen to the school all my children went to !
Rockville High School is named such as being in Rockville, our County Seat. The High School will most likely remain in Rockville, but if not, Rockville is still the name of the County Seat of Parke County so the school name should follow...... And with 140 years of history, it would be a shame to drop that name.
I think renaming our high school would just make the town of Rockville lose people and money. We don't want to become a ghost town. I came from Bellmore and look at that little burg now.
RHS has always welcomed students from other schools and would also welcome students from TR. Let history and heritage continue. Keep Rockville High School.
Save our school!!!!!

Rockville High School is and always should be ROCKVILLE ROX! Our ROX MAN mascot is unique and I think stands out. I love it when people see my sweatshirt with our blue and white with ROX...it gets attention "What's a ROX?". I proudly reply "Home of the Rox Man, Rockville High School where I graduated!"
