The school occupies the site of the former West High School, which closed in 1983. The school opened in 1985 as Metro Tech Vocational Institute.[4] The school received its current name in 1999,[4] as it became a comprehensive high school,[5] transitioning away from its beginnings as a vocational school that focused on only entry-level work skills.[4]
In the 2017-2018 school year, 1,797 students attended the school.[3] 96.5% of the school's student population are identified as "Hispanic".[6]
The school's graduation rate in 2017 is 95%, while attendance rate is 94.8%.[3] Students at the school are required to complete one or more of the 20 Career & Technical Education programs that are offered.[4]
In January 2016, Metro Tech's application for full membership with the Arizona Interscholastic Association was approved by its executive board.[7] From 2016 to 2018, the school's team competes in the 4A Region 2 tier, along with teams at Cactus, Greenway, Moon Valley, Peoria and Sunrise Mountain high schools.[8]
