Established in 1959 to replace the Hornsby Home Science School, the school enrolled approximately 597 students in 2018, from Year 7 to Year 12, of whom two percent identified as Indigenous Australians and 30 percent were from a language background other than English.[2] The school is operated by the NSW Department of Education in accordance with a curriculum developed by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority; the principal is Elizabeth Amvrazis.
The school's brother school is the Asquith Boys High School.
In February 1958, the NSW Department of Education acquired a two-hectare (five-acre) site in eastern Asquith for a new girls high school to replace the Hornsby Home Science School (established 1947) that was destroyed with other school buildings on Peats Ferry Road in a bushfire in 1957.[3] Asquith Girls High School officially commenced operation from 1 January 1959.[4][5]
