Wichita Heights High School was originally approved, planned and built as Wichita Heights Rural School District Number 192, to serve the districts of Bridgeport, Kechi, Kechi Center, Riverside and Riverview. No secondary school existed at the time for these districts; prior to its construction students were placed into other Wichita area schools. Construction of the school started in 1959, and was finished two years later in 1961 in time for the school year.
In July 1963 the school became a part of the Wichita Public Schools.
In 1983 Wichita Heights was designated an urban overflow school due to the increasing populations of other inner city Wichita Public Schools.
