The school first opened its doors for the 2004–2005 school year. The Governing Board members at the time were Tammy Giebink, Cheryl Graham and Shannon Hartley. The Superintendent was Dr. Jose L. Trujillo.
The first year the school housed only grades nine through eleven; seniors still attended high school at Virgin Valley High School. The following school year, 2005–2006, the school housed all four grades, 9–12.
