MHHS was originally built in 1952.[1] The majority of its current main construction took place in 1962.[2] It was again modernized from 2015 to 2017 at a cost of approximately $37.2M. The modernization process was completed in 2017.[3]

The MHHS building housed what is now The Medicine Hat College until 1971, at which point The MHC moved to its own campus location on College Drive.

On October 5, 2017 MHHS hosted a major homecoming event for former athletes and families to celebrate the modernization of the school and its history.[4]

On Thursday September 3, 2020, Medicine Hat High School announced it will be discontinuing the use of their Indigenous-themed team names after months of consultations.[5][6]

On April 6, Medicine Hat High School will be changing their team name to the 'Hawks' after considering input from the school community.[7]
