Due to growth and aging of the original building, a new high school was built. The new high school is on Alexander Love Highway. The new campus will accommodate grades 9-12. Ninth graders had been housed at York Junior High for several years because the old York Comprehensive was unable to handle the large number of students. The new campus is designed to hold 1,800 students.

  • Controversy

    In May 2015, the school became the center of a national controversy when it banned the act of flying large flags from vehicles on the school grounds. Soon after posts on social media, this ban got national attention, mostly due to the perception that this policy was an attack on the American flag itself. In response to peaceful protests and threats of litigation, the school reversed the flag ban, allowing the American flag to be flown on vehicles.
