The school was opened in 1956 and has since undergone several large expansions. In the 1960s, a large section that today houses the main office, cafetorium, front entrance, courtyard, as well as several classrooms, was added. Later, in the early 2000s, a wing was added to the east side of the building. Many of these classrooms are now devoted to mathematics and science courses.
In recent years, many students have expressed a desire to change the team mascot from the "Rams" to the "Battleships", in honour of the World War II vessel that the town was named after.
