The school was built circa 1953 at a cost of approximately $250,000.[5][6] In 1954, Jet reported that a janitor at the school's new cement block building believed it was haunted by a student who drowned before receiving a diploma.[7] In 1977, the school was set on fire, causing $125,000 in damage.[8]
In 2017, the school's football team played for a state championship.[9][10]
The school district launched a cultural competency program to address much lower scores among African American and Hispanic students than white students at its largely segregated schools.[11]
