The building that housed the school had opened in 1968 as a black elementary school and was later converted to an integrated junior high school. |

In 1991, the current campus was opened for grades 9-12 (the former campus added grade 6 from feeder elementary schools to become Hillcrest Middle School). An expansion wing was added in 2002. |
