Richmond Hill High School (RHHS) is a public high school in Richmond Hill, Georgia, United States; which teaches grades 9-12. RHHS is currently located in the center of Richmond Hill on 1 Wildcat Drive, the main street which is named after the school's mascot.
In 1994, RHHS moved to its current location which has four separate halls for classrooms, connected through one major hall which leads you from the gym to the external classrooms on the side of the school next to the Richmond Hill Middle School campus. The first and fourth hallways are the newest additions to the campus, constructed in approximately 2003-2004.
Richmond Hill High School does not have an auditorium, so many school functions occur in the gymnasium or in the cafeteria. Before its present location, it was located at the current site of Richmond Hill Middle School which is located directly adjacent to the high school campus and is connected by a covered walkway.
