Rockwell Academy - Be it sports, academics or drama, Rockwall does it the very best.
Welcome to Rockwell Academy, a private high school tucked away in the forests of Colorado. Rockwell academy was founded by Joseph R. Rockwell in 1912 as an All-Boys school, accepting only the best and brightest. Times have of course changed the school, for example, it now features a female residence, but Rockwell's vision of excellence in both Athletics and Academics remains.
The Rockwell Rangers know how to succeed. This is why the school is proud to teach many generations of families and the children of both the successful and famous. While the school is pricey, and the majority of students come from upper middle class or higher families, Joseph Rockwell always recognized that the best students might not be the richest ones. For this reason, many full-ride scholarships are available for those students who excel on the entrance exams or who are recruited by the coaches of one of the school teams.
Rockwell is a very strict school, whose rules it would be in your best interests to follow:
1. Attendance at all classes and practices is mandatory unless signed out by a staff member.
2. No members of the opposite-sex in dorm rooms.
3. "Lights-Out" is at 10:30pm and night checks are performed.
4. You may only leave school grounds with permission or for day outings on select weekends.
5. No alcohol, drugs, or explicit behaviour.
Of course, behind the facade of elitism and rigidity the school upholds, the students have other plans. Parties in the campus woods are common, and not altogether unknown about by many of the staff. Sneaking around is common-place and drama and romance prevail. View attachment 68925 View attachment 68925

Rockhurst is tucked into the forests of Northern Colorado. It is a scenic and sprawling campus. As you drive past the low rock wall and wrought iron gates of the school entrance in September, you will pass through a tunnel of brilliantly red maples arching across along, straight driveway. At the end of the driveway you will drive into a large clearing where the school buildings are located.
An old red brick building covered in ivy is the first you see. This contains the administration's offices and teachers' offices. As you drive around the Admin Building, the road will fork and you will have to choose which of the three paths you wish to take. A sign reads Rockwell House (Male Dormitories) -Left , Glendon Hall (Female Dormitories)- Right , and Academic and Athletics Facilities- Straight.
The dormitory buildings are located on opposite sides of the campus for good reason. Rockwell remains very traditional, and the less inter-mixing of boys and girls, the better. Rockwell house is a four story long rectangular brick building, each grade has its own floor. Glendon Hall is a more modern two-story L-shaped building, the seniors and juniors have the left wing and sophomores and freshmen have the right wing.
Most of the classrooms are located in a large glass building, dedicated to some rich alum who donated truckloads of money to update the classroom facilities a few years ago. A number of small stone and brick buildings that used to contain classrooms remain, they're mainly used for club meetings and the odd specialty upper-year class.
The athletics facilities are state of the art, and since the goal for many students is to make it to the olympics or pros, all facilities are regulation size. There is a huge stadium for the football, rugby, and soccer fanatics, since this is the school's most popular team, as well as several practice fields. Twin arenas for hockey and skating. Two pools for swimming. An olympic quality indoor track and 7k cross country course for runners. As well as basketball courts (indoor and outdoor) and baseball diamonds. If a sport exists, Rockwell has facilities for it.
The forests around campus are home to many walking and running trails. It is a common Sunday afternoon activity for students to meander through the endless trails. There is a small pebbly "lake" with an island across the middle on the boys side of campus. In the fall and summer, friday night parties are often held on the island, but in the winter they are just held in a clearing on the edge of the lake. A stream dividing the male and female "sides" of campus runs into the lake. The only way across without walking straight through the main campus is a small bridge.
rules
1. Posts ought to be at least a sentence for quick conversation, but a small paragraph is preferred for more detailed scenes. Please identify the character you are speaking for (posts in first person are fine as long as it is in past tense) ex:
Mr. Thomas:
The boys knew they were in a lot of trouble when they sat down in my office.."
2. Avoid any kind of "power playing" with other peoples' characters (unless you ask them about doing so out of the rp)
3. No out of character drama
4. Swearing should only be used to highlight a character's personality or the intensity of a scene.
5. Romantic activities (i.e.- kissing) are fine, but avoid details and fade to black before anything too crazy.
6. Breaking school rules is expected, I will control the Dean (Mr. Thomas) and decide upon fair in role play punishments (there will be no kicking out over breaking "school rules" because where is the fun in that?
7. You're welcome to fast forward the role play to keep things moving, as long as no one is in the middle of a scene.
8. Use common sense, and have fun! I am knew to the RPNation community, but this RP is based on a very successful private role play I had a few years ago.
