The town of Jupiter was settled in the late 19th century by settlers traveling down the Loxahatchee River. The town was incorporated in 1925, and during the 1930s a two-story school building was constructed for grades 1-12. The bottom level held the lower grades, while the high school classes were held on the upper level.
The campus now known as Jupiter High School was first built west of Military Trail in 1965 for students of the town of Jupiter to attend. Initially the complex housed grades 7-12, with the high school located on the South Campus of the school. As the town's population grew, a middle school—now Jupiter Middle School—was constructed a few miles away, and the high school encompassed both the North and South Campuses.
In June 2001, groundbreaking for a new high school took place. It opened in 2003, costing 56+ million dollars and on August 13, 2003 all students were on one campus for the first time in 20 years. The new high school is on the 12 acres (49,000 m2) that was once home to the high school stadium, ball fields, tennis courts and practice fields. It is now 338,000 square feet (31,400 m2), housing 60 classrooms and 28 laboratories. The school is wired for computers in every classroom. The auditorium seats 850 and the gymnasium seats about 1,500 people.
Jupiter High School is host to a wide variety of Magnet school programs. They include the Jupiter Environmental Research and Field Studies Academy, Engineering Technology Academy, Medical Academy, Culinary Arts Academy, Information Technology Academy, and the new Criminal Justice Academy. The school also offers 30 AP courses, with about 100 total AP classes.
Jupiter High School is host to over 100 registered student organizations. Many of Jupiter High School's clubs have gone on to compete and win at State, and National levels, such as rugby, flag football, debate, and the competitive robotics team.
