Every generation of students since then have had a role in eventually making our school the influential institution it is now. Whether someone's role was pursuing comedy (Bart Peluso, Upcoming Comedian) , to be a dancer (Aly Pogorzelski, Rangerette), a star athlete (John Henson, Professional Basketball Player for the NBA), or even a great political figure (Jeffrey S. Boyd, Texas Supreme Court Member), they all had one thing in common. Every single one of them attended Round Rock High School at some point or another.
