Students leaving Jasper will attend Plano West Senior High School.

Jasper was constructed in time for the 1996–1997 school year; however, the completion of the 240,000-square-foot (22,000 m2), two-story building was not finished until July 1999.

The project, with a contract price of $700,157, was designed by Corgan Associates, Inc. and built by Tywell Construction Corporation.

[7] During the 2003 Bond Election held on August 23, 2003, a $3,500,000 addition of eight temporary classrooms was approved by a vote of 3,643 for to 1,499 against, in order to combat overcrowding in the school, which had reached 1,980.

[6] On March 25, 2004, Big Sky Construction was chosen out of eight contractors to build an orchestra/band/choir hall.

The addition was approved in a 2004 Facility Program Bond vote by the citizens of Plano.

It was a project given to the Cadence McShane Companies, and was built along with new additions to Williams High School.

The addition to Jasper was completed in July 2006, costing the school district approximately $7,501,893.

[11][12] Jasper High School is named in honor of Plano banker and businessman Thomas Chilton "T.C."

The couple established a prosperous general store in nearby Mount Salem, Kentucky.

Jasper was a co-founder of the Plano Cotton Oil Company (established in 1902 and dissolved in 1916).

[18] In 2024, Jasper was one of the co-champions of Public Forum Debate at the TFA's State Championship, closing out the round to Plano West Senior High School.

All of the music programs (band, choir, and orchestra) have many qualifiers for the All-State honor each year.

[23] In 2023, Jasper's Legacy string orchestra earned the prestigious right to be invited to the Midwest Clinic International Band and Orchestra Festival, being the first 9–10 grade school in history to earn the right to go to the Midwest Clinic.
