Junius H. Rose High School
Junius H Rose High School (known colloquially as JH Rose, Rose High or simply Rose) is a comprehensive public high school in Greenville, North Carolina, in the Pitt County Schools system. Originally dedicated in 1957 on South Elm Street, it moved to its present location on Arlington Boulevard (the former Greenville Middle School) in 1992. Students that made up the original student body came from the former Greenville High School in downtown Greenville. Students from the former historically black C. M. Eppes High School were integrated in during the early 1970s.

Rose has a nationally recognized Advanced Placement (AP) program, cited by the Siemens Foundation as one of the top 50 US high schools for performance on science and math advanced placement tests in 2006-07 . Rose students have been recipients of honors such as the PSAT Merit Scholarship, Morehead Scholarship, Benjamin N. Duke Scholarship, Park Scholarship, and the Presidential Scholarship.
In 2011 the school received a 3 out of 10 rating from greatschools.org.
In 2005, the school was listed on Newsweek magazine's list of top high schools in the United States for the first time. In 2005, it was listed #645, #471 in 2006, and in 2007, #682. Typically, about 50 schools from North Carolina (primarily from the Charlotte, Research Triangle, and Piedmont Triad regions) make the list.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“As I walked on the glacis I heard the sound of a bagpipe from the soldiers’ dwellings in the rock, and was further soothed and affected by the sight of a soldier’s cat walking up a cleated plank in a high loophole designed for mus-catry, as serene as Wisdom herself, and with a gracefully waving motion of her tail, as if her ways were ways of pleasantness and all her paths were peace.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
