Tooele High opened for the 1913 school year.[4] In 1955 a new high school was behind the old building, while the older building continued to be used by Tooele County School District until its demolition in 1974. The current school was built to the west of the second high school, and was opened for the remainder of the 2002–2003 school year. The school celebrated its centennial during the 2012–2013 school year.
The campus, in the 1990s, was across the street from the city swimming pool. Students used the swimming pool, which the district leased from the city, and students also used the park area during lunchtime.[5]
In 1997, 170 more students joined the student body. That year, due to overcrowding, the school added one minute to passing time.[6]
