The current building was completed in 1969, replacing a previous building built in 1953 which was rededicated as General Smallwood Middle School. At the same time, it was combined with the former Pomonkey High School built in 1957, [2] A webpage of the College of Southern Maryland may refer to an earlier Pomonkey High School building than the one mentioned in the Banneker School's webpage., [3] Until 1965 this was a segregated (African-American) school. which was rededicated as Matthew Henson Middle School.

The high school is named for Rear Admiral Henry E. Lackey of the local Naval facility, who was credited with helping to start the school at Indian Head, Maryland, in 1920, one of the first high schools in the county.
