Several films have been shot on the Red Bluff High School campus over the years. In 1998, Good Morning America filmed an introduction segment on the Red Bluff High School parking lot.

In the 1960s voters turned down a bond proposal designed to replace the old high school building. A short time later, in what was viewed by some as "an amazing coincidence," the high school burned to the ground. The new buildings were built and the footprint of the old one is now occupied by tennis courts.
