In 1922, Springfield Township planned to construct a high school to serve area students in grades 7-11.

The original 12-classroom school was completed in 1924, built at Hillcrest Pond, the former site of White City amusement park.

The old library was turned into additional science classrooms, and the school offices were expanded.

In 2019 a new auxiliary gym was built in addition to the renovated athletic complex.

[3] The students take three or four 90 minutes classes in the school's intensive block scheduling program.

[note 2][3] Springfield Township High School is a AA member of the PIAA District One.

In 2021 the men’s and women’s water polo teams won the small school state championship.
