Mitcham Girls High School was founded in 1964. The site was previously Kingswood High School from 1914 to 1917, and then from 1918 to 1963, it was a co-educational site incorporating nearby Unley High School before becoming a girls-only technical high school in 1964. [2]

In 2015, 18% of students were from non-English-speaking backgrounds, as well as students from overseas studying under an international education program. [2]
