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]

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.
