To preserve & promote the history of Roseville
Roseville Union High School
Roseville’s first high school classes were held in 1912 at the Golden Eagle Saloon and Lodging House on Vernon Street. As Roseville’s population grew following the Big Move, the city dedicated Roseville Union High School in 1916. The school was torn down in 1970. Its replacement stands today on Tahoe Avenue.
