History

Nathan Hale High School was initially established in 1931 as an additional junior high school, requested in response to an ever-growing population of students. The first building for Hale still stands, as it is the current building for West Allis Central. Nathan Hale Junior High School was a title short lived, as the current name for the school was conceived in 1941, serving both junior and senior high schoolers alike until 1957. The school served those students at this location until 1968, when the current building was opened two miles to the west, prompting Central to move into Hale's original building in 1973. Central's first building was torn down and subsequently replaced with the current West Allis Public Library.

The current building for Nathan Hale has retained its stark, brutalist architecture of the 1960's, but not without renovations. In 1999, the cafeteria moved downstairs into its current location in the northeastern corner of the building. Traces of the old cafeteria are encased in the walls of the Mentoring Program homeroom, where water fountains are present. In the same year, an additional auxiliary gym was also constructed. In 2005, the school's current weight room was finished.

Despite Nathan Hale's direct rival being the Central Bulldogs, the two schools are not in the same athletic conference; Hale is a part of the Greater Metro Conference, while Central is a part of the Woodland Conference.
