History

Little Elm High School was established as a school around the late 60s to early 70s with students prior being bussed to Denton and Frisco high schools. The school was initially located on Lobo Lane near the central area of Little Elm. With rapid growth in the 90s and 2000s, the school district would expand what was known as the "old Little Elm High School" in 1995, and later open a new campus on Walker Lane in 2004 to accommodate growth, with the previous building later becoming Lakeside Middle School, and now is the Administration Building for Little Elm ISD.
Little Elm Independent School District voters approved a $289.5 million bond package in November 2022 that included significant expansions and renovations at Little Elm High School to address rapid enrollment growth and district facility needs, projects at the high school funded by the bond include the addition of a new academic wing, multiple new gymnasium spaces, expanded fine arts areas, and new career and technical education flex spaces to accommodate instructional programs and extracurricular activities, as well as other districtwide improvements outlined in the bond program.

Police were called to the scene when the students became disruptive and began making threats.
