• In 1959, the first students attended Lehi High School at its new location, 150 North 500 East. It cost $1.6 million to build and had 29 classrooms.

• The first principal of the new Lehi High School, Dale H. Price, welcomed 475 9th- through 12th-graders that fall.

• This new school had a little theater and two outdoor courtyards: one outside the library and another outside the cafeteria.

• By the 1990s the courtyards and little theater had disappeared; The Lehision yearbook became The Legend, and the school became overcrowded with more than 1,000 students.

• In 2002, a new addition was completed and in 2008 2,400 students attended the school.

In the early 1950s, it became apparent that new high schools were needed to accommodate the growth in the area. Three high schools were planned for Alpine School District in Pleasant Grove, American Fork, and Lehi. All schools were similar in architecture. The three schools opened in the fall of 1959. Lehi High School has undergone several renovations since its initial opening to accommodate the increase in student population and to meet seismic requirements.

In 2009, the school was reduced to a 4A with the opening of Westlake High School in Saratoga Springs. In 2011, with growth in the Lehi area, the school again returned to 5A. However, in Fall 2016, a new school was built in Northern Lehi: Skyridge High School. Also, in the later months of 2016, it was announced that in the 2017-2018 school year, a 6A region would be introduced. As a result of these two changes, it was announced that in the 2017-2018 school year, Lehi High School will move to 4A again. Lehi High School will move to 4A for every sport except for football where they will remain in the 5A region. The Lehi football team became Utah state football champions in 2017.
