The school opened in 1972 and is located near the site of the first land battle of the US Civil War-the Battle of Big Bethel.

Historically, Tabb High School has been known for its football program, which was dominant in the early 1990s and produced two players for the NFL.
- History
-
Tabb opened in the fall of 1972. It was without a senior class, and did not have a graduation ceremony until the spring of 1974.It was considered quite cutting edge for its time. It had carpeting, movable walls, was air conditioned and contained two large rooms called kivas in which the teacher worked from the lowest level with five ascending rows in front and on either side. The gymnasium floor was made of Tartan, a rubber surface, which was considered unusual for its time. The school opened to rave reviews from students, parents and the architectural community. It helped ease overcrowding in York High School.The original student body was very close, and thrilled to be part of such a unique school. In the summer of 2004, the class of '74 held its 29th reunion. In the spirit of that closeness, they invited the classes of '75 and '76 to participate as well, representing that special bond between each other. Tabb made the play-offs for the first time in 15 years in the '08-'09 football season. The girls field hockey team won the state championship in the '08-'09 season.
