A new wing was added to the facility facing South Dean Street in 1921, and was concurrently renamed Frank Evans High School in honor of a district superintendent.

[7][8] The former site of Evans Junior High is now the Downtown Campus of Spartanburg Community College;[9] the property at 50 Emory Road is the current location of McCracken Middle School.

Construction of a new high school building on the site would be funded by a tax increase of 10 mills.

[14] On December 14, 2016, ground was broken on the site of the future Spartanburg High School campus at a ceremony with about 200 attendees.

[15] Work on the site commenced early in 2017, with as many as 200 personnel following an "aggressive" completion schedule for the project.

[2] Spartanburg High School's walking trails, outdoor classroom, wetlands, and irrigation system, alongside the property's energy efficiency measures, resulted in the school receiving two Green Globe Awards from the Green Building Initiative in 2020;[19] it is the ninth such institution nationally to receive this distinction, and the first in South Carolina.

[22] Spartanburg High School hosts classes for band, choir, orchestra, theatre, and visual arts.
