Overview

Rutherford High has a limited agriculture facility, sporting facilities and a partially functioning music "laboratory". It is currently undergoing renovations throughout the entire school.

Rutherford High was built in 1985, at the same time and right behind its companion school, Rutherford Public. The two compete in sport programs together, use each other's facilities and both wear maroon, with a maroon fence surrounding both schools. Recently, Maitland Tutorial Centre, which was located on South Street, Telarah (South Street Public School), has relocated to a new location between the two schools. Rutherford High has also been extended as far up to the Tutorial Centre, as part of the ongoing renovations, with a renovated front office, shelter, science labs, asphalt area, hall and a new two-story classroom building that will be joined onto the old two-story building, with an elevator for students and staff in wheelchairs to get upstairs with easy access.
