History

In 2013, Denton ISD area voters would approve a $312 million bond package, which would include the construction of a 4th comprehensive high school that would relieve overcapacity in the current 3 high schools, with the school being built in the "380 corridor", typically known as parts of Paloma Creek, Cross Roads, and Little Elm areas of US-380 east of the Elm Fork.^[7]

Dr. Leslie Guajardo was selected as the school's first principal. It was the fourth comprehensive high school to be built in Denton ISD. The campus, with 532,000 square feet (49,400 m²) of space,^[8] had a cost of $113.9 million. It opened in fall 2016.^[6] The Denton Independent School District has named DeCorian Haliey principal for the 2020–2024 school years.
