Tabb opened in the fall of 1972. It was without a senior class, and did not have a graduation ceremony until the spring of 1974. It was considered cutting-edge for its time. It had carpeting, movable walls, air conditioning, and two large rooms called kivas in which the teacher worked from the lowest level with five ascending rows in front and on either side. The gymnasium floor was made of Tartan, a rubber surface, which was considered unusual for its time. The school opened to rave reviews from students, parents and the architectural community. It helped ease overcrowding in
York High School. The original student body was very close, and thrilled to be part of such a unique school. In the summer of 2004, the class of '74 held its 30th reunion. In the spirit of that closeness, they invited the classes of '75 and '76 to participate as well. Tabb made the playoffs for the first time in 15 years in the '08-'09 football season. The girls' field hockey team won the state championship in the '08-'09 season, '09-'10 season, '10-'11 season, and '11-'12 season, leaving the school with a "four in a row" state championship. They won again in '14, '15, '16, and '21 making eight state championship titles in ten seasons. == Accreditation ==
