History

In 1968 there was an election on whether to increase the mills of the tax by 50%, but voters voted against it on a 217 against versus 156 for.[2]

In 2002 the school had 215 students, and the rate of students attending tertiary education was about 90%. Bonnie Muehlberg in The Bismarck Tribune wrote that "As in many smaller communities, the school serves as a hub for activities and events."[3]

When Wolford School District closed in 2019, Rolette School was an option for those students.[4] Upon disestablishment of the Wolford district, Rolette is to take a portion of the district.[5]
