History

Construction of the school was completed in 1970, and was originally opened as North Battleford Collegiate Institute. In 1974 the school took the name NBCHS. In 1997 the school's building was divided, and the North West Regional College was incorporated into the building. In January 1988 the school became one of four in the province to offer the International Baccalaureate Programme. As of August 27, 2007 North Battleford Comprehensive became a smoke free zone.

It is currently in the process of becoming an urban reserve.
