North East High School was first begun in 1898 as a section of the town's existing schoolhouse. The first graduation ceremony was held in 1901. In 1906, the school moved into a newly constructed two-story building. The high school occupied the second floor, while lower grades were taught in the first floor.{{Cite news|title=Ask the Historical Society: North East High School|url=https://www.cecildaily.com/our_cecil/ask-the-historical-society-north-east-high-school/article_f22ececc-6055-52b3-aaf9-af03ba045fed.html|work=The Cecil Whig|date=March 11, 2017|access-date=February 23, 2024}}{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-midland-journal-north-east-high-scho/127433408/ |title=North East High School |date=March 16, 1906 |newspaper=The Midland Journal |page=1 |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=July 1, 2023}}{{Open access}}
