The first school classes were held in Hurricane in 1906 in the living room of Ira E. Bradshaw's home, consisting of grades one through eight. Hurricane's first high school class graduated in the 1927– school year. from April 9, 1986, to April 28, 2005, and was located at what eventually became the Hurricane City Fine Arts Building. A two-story red brick high school building was built during the
Great Depression with help from the federal government's
Works Progress Administration. The building was completed and the school opened just after
Thanksgiving in 1936. In 1974, a new gymnasium and three classrooms were completed at the school site. Students walked between the old high school building and the new building for classes. In 1978, classrooms and a cafeteria were added, and grades 9–12 moved to the new building. The old building remained in use for other grades until it was demolished in the spring of 2004. An auditorium, auxiliary gym, and administrative office areas were added in 1996. In 2001, a science hall was added and named for the outgoing principal, Robert Goulding. The school's enrollment growth forced an expansion of the existing building. The expansion opened in 2012. Daniel McKeehan is the principal at Hurricane High School, replacing former principal Darin Thomas in 2023.
