Stony Point High School is a high school in the Round Rock Independent School District in Round Rock, Texas, USA. It is the second newest of the five high schools in RRISD. The principal is Albert Hernandez, who previously worked as the principal of the Stony Point Ninth Grade Center. The Ninth Grade Center is adjacent to the high school and was formerly home to Hopewell Middle School. However, due to overcrowding, a concern that is continuously prevalent in the RRISD school district, the middle school was changed into a freshman-only campus. Due to the opening of Cedar Ridge High School, Stony Point freshmen were moved into the main campus, and the freshman campus is now used as Hernandez Middle School.
The school houses the Health Science (previously Science and Medicine), the S.T.E.M.(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), and the Business, Finance, and Marketing Academies. Stony Point has offered the International Baccalaureate since the school year of 2008-2009.
Stony Point's feeder schools are Hernandez and Hopewell middle schools.

Famous quotes containing the words stony, point, high and/or school:
“With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls,
For stony limits cannot hold love out,
And what love can do, that dares love attempt.”

“And William had dudgeon for the sightless beadle
Who worshipped a God like a grandmother on ice-skates,
For William saw two angels on the point of a needle
As nobody since except W. B. Yeats.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“We approached the Indian Island through the narrow strait called “Cook.” He said, “I ‘xpect we take in some water there, river so high,—never see it so high at this season. Very rough water there, but short; swamp steamboat once. Don’t paddle till I tell you, then you paddle right along.” It was a very short rapid. When we were in the midst of it he shouted “paddle,” and we shot through without taking in a drop.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)
