History
Rock University High School started operation at the Rock County Campus of UW Whitewater, but more space was required. As a result, in 2016 Stephanie Villarello suggested movement to Blackhawk Technical College (BTC), although other locations were considered. BTC quickly accepted and set up temporary housing for the school, before transferring to a more permanent location. In 2019 the school would open its doors for the freshman class, which would lead to the school outgrowing the new location in 2020 and moving to the current location in August 2020.[2] In 2025 the school would become the 20th best school in Wisconsin.[3][4]
