From the day it first opened, the high school held grades 10, 11 and 12 until 2002 when the 9th grade was moved to the high school and Ca
ve Spring Junior High School became present day Cave Spring Middle School, which houses grades 6, 7 and 8.

In the fall of 2008, the main entrance and front lobby of the high school was completely renovated and re-opened in the spring of 2009.
