The school is split into two separate buildings: the West Building which serves most of the students in all grades, and the East Building which serves most of the upperclassmen (grades 11 and 12) and special education classes.

History

The name Massabesic came from a Native American language that was spoken in the area before Europeans settled in the area. Massabesic High School was first opened in 1969 with an enrollment of over nine hundred students within grades nine through twelve. Over the years, the school has had enrolled around 1000 students per school year.

East Building expansion

On August 29, 2007, Massabesic High School occupied the former Massabesic Junior High School building and declared it the East Building, expanding the high school and eliminating overcrowding problems.
