The original Casa Grande Union High School was built in 1920–21 at a cost of $135,000. It featured an indoor swimming pool and an auditorium. The large building's construction was a major milestone for the growing town between Phoenix and Tucson.

The gymnasium was added in 1936. It is Arizona's only adobe gymnasium. $12,000 was used to build the structure ($7,200 of it came from the Depression-era Works Progress Administration). The adobe was locally made with on-site earth; manufacturing it provided much-needed jobs during the Depression in hard-hit Casa Grande. It was in use as the high school until 1997, when a new, modern school with the capacity to serve 2,800 students opened at a different location. This new school quickly filled up and now has 3,200 students as of 2022-2023. [6]
