Roseville City School District Celebrates 150 Years!
For 150 years, Roseville City School District has been inspiring and educating the youngest minds in Roseville. RCSD began modestly in 1869 with 44 students. In the last 150 years, we have grown to an impressive 11,500+ students. From the Gilded Age to the Information Age, our commitment and focus has always been child-centered.

Throughout the year, we will be celebrating where we were and where we’re going. We invite you, the members of the community, to join us in this yearlong recognition as we honor the heritage and achievements of our alumni, staff, and students. Please share your ideas, photos, and stories with us at http://bit.ly/rcsd150 and remember to tag your photos and posts online with #RCSD150 to help spread celebratory cheer.
