Gallery Spotlight: The Rockridge Roundup, Class Is in Session

September 10, 2026

Sul sul! Summer Holiday here!

Back in high school, I was ALWAYS in the know, which is why I’ve been asked to write this year’s Rockridge Roundup, a new student’s Rockridge Heights High School handbook! I’m giving you the lowdown on the hottest spots to see and be seen in school, plus the inside scoop on some familiar faces of Rockridge’s glory days.

At Rockridge Heights High School, the halls have history, the gossip is juicy and everyone knows everyone (and their business!). Consider The Rockridge Roundup your official guide to who’s who, what’s what and where everyone’s hanging out!

Welcome to the Rockridge Heights Roundup!

Rockridge Heights High School is seriously packed with stories waiting to happen. From the modern classrooms and totally decked out lockers to the gym and the quad, there are plenty of places to learn and make memories.

Basically? At Rockridge, you can ace the pop quiz and still make the quad in time for gossip.

The Library (Where the Plot Thickens)

The library was my go-to when I actually needed to get things done. There are two floors, countless study spots, and chess boards for Skill building. It’s definitely quiet which is perfect for cramming or catching up on homework, so BFFs sharing the latest rumors with each other should be sure to keep it down!

The Sports Spin

Home of the Llamas! The gym is where students really show off their school pride, athleticism and connections. Whether they’re breaking a sweat on the treadmill or running the gossip mill one conversation at a time, the gym can make or break a Sim’s pep or rep.

And let’s be real: sometimes you just need to sweat out a little post pop quiz stress!

Quality Time in The Quad

Honestly, some of the best memories happen between lectures and pop quizzes, and the courtyard is where everyone goes to escape the classroom and catch up. With the fountain, pergola, and prime lunch-table real estate, it was basically our home base.

Travis, Liberty and I would meet up after class, swap laughs, make plans, and, obviously, keep tabs on who was dating who. Every piece of Rockridge gossip seemed to pass through the courtyard eventually. Ask me how I know.

Center Stage in The Auditorium

The Dance, Graduation, Career Day... basically, the auditorium has seen it all. Balloon arches, string lights, questionable color schemes, graduation banners, red carpets, and enough drama to fill the room.

The Dance is the source of most (if not all) gossip, and where alliances get tested, Career Day is when Rockridge suddenly remembers we’re supposed to have a future, and Graduation is where everyone pretends they’re not crying about the future they were supposed to think about sooner...

Whatever happens in this room, there’s always a story.

Throwback Corner: Back in the Day…

Rockridge Heights has produced some seriously legendary graduates (and a whole lot of drama).

Before we grew up and took on the world, Don, Dina, Nina, Travis, Liberty, and I were just teenagers trying to find our way in Rockridge Heights. We were still figuring out who we were, trying to survive chemistry, and making memories we'd still be laughing about years later.

So what happened in our lives before we met? I’ll be honest with you, I don’t even know the whole story, but that’s where you come in!
