History

Wylie East High School opened for the 2007–2008 school year, serving only ninth grade students. District residents were asked to present suggestions at board meetings in late 2007 on whether to pursue multiple high schools, which the district voted in favor of in January 2008. Wylie East then began the 2009–2010 school year serving ninth and tenth grade students, and the Class of 2012 became the first class to graduate.[5] The Class of 2011 (the school's first class) went on to graduate at Wylie High School.

Due to a $21 million bond passed in May 2012, the school underwent renovations and additions worth $18 million, making Wylie East the largest campus in Wylie ISD. These renovations added career and technology classrooms, science classrooms, 500 parking spaces, a field house, a band hall, and two gymnasiums.[6]
