History

The 2009–2010 school year began in a brand new building.
In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.
In September 2015, then-principal Greg Wright created controversy for the school and the Prosper School District, as reported in the Dallas Morning News, when it was revealed that he had criticized a faculty member who reported a teacher from PHS to the police for inappropriately touching a student.
In 2018, two editorials were removed from Prosper High School's student newspaper. The students claimed that they would be censored if they published anything perceived to criticize the school. The Student Press Law Center sent a letter to the Superintendent of Prosper Independent School District, urging them to remediate the school principal's "hijacking and censorship" of the student newspaper.
