In the early portion of the 20th century (and at a different location), the school was known as Business High School. The high school, located at 13th and Upshur Streets NW was built in 1932 to accommodate 1,200 students. It is currently undergoing a $121 million, two-year facility modernization. The renovation was scheduled to be completed for the 2015–2016 academic year. During the renovation period, classes are being conducted at the MacFarland Middle School campus nearby at 4400 Iowa Avenue, NW.
