Rocklin High School Athletic Vision What’s the main thing? The Rocklin High School Athletic program is and integral part of the Rocklin High School learning experience. The RHS student athlete experience is a result of the “six Pillars of Success” as outlined in the Rocklin High School handbook; a lifelong learner and continually improving. (Character, Communication , Commitment, Curriculum, Challenge and Community) The best learning comes when coach and teacher work together Connections It has been proven that when an adult on campus connects with a HS student their chance for success increases exponentially. You have that opportunity to connect with athletes

Connect on Many Different Levels

You are a role model for all these attributes. Actions both on and off the athletic arena. Rocklin High School and community have high standards “Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self- satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming”. -John Wooden
