Scarborough's former high school building is located on the western edge of the town's central village, just east of the Maine Veterans' Home on the south side of US Route 1.

It is a flat-roofed brick building, with a three-story central section flanked by two-story wings.

The middle bays are set in recessed round-arch sections, with windows at the basement and main floor levels separated by paneling.

Continued growth prompted the local decision to build a dedicated structure in the 1920s.

This building was designed by the Portland architectural firm Miller, Mayo & Beal, and was completed in 1926.
