The first recorded graduating class of North Kingstown High School was in 1905; in 2005 the school celebrated their 100th anniversary. The high school did not have an official home until 1907 when they moved into the newly constructed Wickford Academy, which is now Wickford Elementary School. The original academy building had burned down the prior year.
After being located on the academy campus, the high school moved to the North Kingstown Junior/Senior High School, now Wickford Middle School, in 1932. In September 2001, a new state of the art school grounds was opened for North Kingstown High School.
