Romeo High School

On the site of the present high school, The Romeo Engineering and Technology Center was built and completed in 2003. The original plan was to create a new separate school, but funding failed, so the decision was made to build a satellite school to reduce overcrowding at the main high school. The RETC has an area of 90,288 sq.ft., covers 77 acres, and cost $12,259,836 to build. Solar panels were installed there and turned on in December 2010. The solar panels were paid for by grants and can produce upwards of 19.8 kilowatts (DC). In fall of 2019, the present high school building opened. It was connected to the Engineering and Technology Center. The architect was Integrated Design Solutions. ==Academics==
