History
editRutland was built on 151-acre property in south Bibb County, purchased by the Bibb County Board of Education. It was built as a joint-campus with Rutland Middle School, with the two schools utilizing a shared kitchen and lunchroom.[3][4] It opened in 2003 and serves grades 9 through 12.[3]
In November of 2020, the school district completed a three year project to build a new 748-seat Performing Arts Center for Rutland High School.[5]
In early 2023, Rutland opened a new agricultural barn, for students in both the high school and the middle school to learn how to care for cows and other agricultural studies in conjunction with Future Farmers of America.[6]
