History

{{citations needed section|date=January 2023}}

Statesboro High was founded in 1901 with the original school house, a wooden structure, being built on Grady Street in Statesboro. The second Statesboro High School building, a brick structure, was built alongside the original in 1922. The original wooden building was still used until the late 1960s, when both buildings were destroyed by a fire.

The original part of the current building on Lester Road was completed in the summer of 1964. Renovations and additions to the building have continued over the years. The first class graduated from the new Statesboro High School in June 1965.

The current $4.2 million building began construction in 2007 and was completed in 2009. The first class graduated from the new building in May 2009.[http://www2.wsav.com/news/bulloch-academy/2009/jan/07/first-day-at-the-new-statesboro-high-sch-34982-vi-15329/ Unknown Title]{{Dead link|date=December 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
