At least three buildings have served as Haverhill High School. A now-demolished building designed by George M. Harding opened in 1874. [3] Another building designed by C. Willis Damon opened in 1909. At present, that building serves as the Haverhill City Hall. [4]

Haverhill High School opened on Monument Street in 1963, with the first class to graduate being the class of 1964. [5]

On March 31, 2022, an altercation between two students involving a knife at Haverhill High School led to the arrest of a female student. The incident sparked discussions about the school's phone seizure policy, as videos of the altercation were shared on social media, violating the school's cell phone policy. Haverhill School Committee held a special meeting to address the issue, emphasizing the importance of public engagement and the need for clear policies regarding phone misuse. [6]

In December 2022, a hazing incident at Haverhill High School came to state-wide attention, resulting in legal charges and termination of employment between two coaches, and the prosecution of an 18-year-old male student. The incident was the subject of a joint investigation by the Haverhill Police Department and the Essex District Attorney's Office. [7]

On February 26, 2024, Haverhill High School became the first school in the United States to take a live online tour of Auschwitz. The virtual tour called "Auschwitz in Front of Your Eyes" features recorded testimonies from concentration camp survivors, as well as a live tour with a guide who walks through the Auschwitz-Birkenau camps, giving a detailed description and view of the camps.
