Its boundary (it is the sole comprehensive high school of its school district) includes Senatobia and some unincorporated areas.[2]
It is a Title 1 eligible school.[1] In 2022, the school's students were 52% Black, 43% White, and 3.4% Hispanic.[3] Blue and gold are the school colors, and the Warriors are the school mascot.[4]
C. B. Sisler was the school's principal in 1898.[5] In 1900 T. P. Scott was the school's principal.[6] In 1907 it was documented as serving white boys while Blackbourne College served the area's white girls.[7]
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.[8] The school's auditorium is Streamline Moderne-style, designed by architects Hull and Drummond, and constructed by Wessell Construction.[9][8]
An analysis of the school's dropouts from 1955 to 1960 was published in 1962 by Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State University.[10]
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.[11]
In 2015, the school received a preservation grant from the Community Heritage Preservation Grant program for a new roof.[12]
The Senatobia High School Warriors football team was state champion in 2004. The football team plays at Varner Field. From 2016 until 2022, Brooks Oakley coached the football team,[13] and is an alumnus.[14] Oakley left for South Panola High School and was followed by Carter Norris, another Senatobia alum.
