      History


      C. B. Sisler was the school's principal in 1898. In 1900 T. P. Scott was the school's principal. In 1907 it was documented as serving white boys while Blackbourne College served the area's white girls.
      The current school building at 221 Warrior Drive was built in 1938 as a Works Progress Administration project (FEAPWA Project #Miss. 1260) on the site of the former Senatobia Female College. The school's auditorium is Streamline Moderne-style, designed by architects Hull and Drummond, and constructed by Wessell Construction.
      An analysis of the school's dropouts from 1955 to 1960 was published in 1962 by Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State University.
      The former campus location of Senatobia High School at 303 College Street is designated as part of a Mississippi Landmark since March 31, 1994; the listing is within the College Street Historic District under the name "Senatobia School Complex," which had also housed the middle school.
      In 2015, the school received a preservation grant from the Community Heritage Preservation Grant program for a new roof.
