History

Schools in the communities of New Hope, Tripp, Hattersville, and Long Creek merged on February 26, 1956 to form Sunnyvale ISD. These four schools merged to create Sunnyvale School for students in grades kindergarten through eighth grade. Students, at this time, attended high school in the Mesquite Independent School District.[4] North Mesquite High School was the designated high school.[5]

On May 12, 2007, Sunnyvale ISD residents approved a $25 million bond by a narrow 53% margin for the creation of a high school in Sunnyvale. For the 2007-2008 school year, ninth grade students were housed at the Sunnyvale Middle School campus, as were ninth and tenth graders for the 2008-2009 school year. Construction of Sunnyvale High School began in spring 2008, and the building was completed in 2009.[6] The 2009-2010 school year was the first year that students attended the actual SHS campus.[7]

The high school added a grade a year with the class of 2011 being the first class to graduate from Sunnyvale High School, and the class of 2013 was the first class to have attended all four years on the school's campus. The graduating class of 2014 was the first class to have gone all eight years through the new Middle School and High School.

gollark: Is that gigabit or gigabyte?
gollark: Making downloading costly can be explained by accursed copyright weirdness. Video for no apparent reason is very ???.
gollark: Weird. Why would they *want* more traffic?
gollark: Although I'd still expect a lot of listening to be done with screen off etc. And smart software would stop the video stream then.
gollark: They have actual video on by default? Strange.
