It was founded in 1995 under the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District on the Sonoma State University campus.

Technology High School's program included Integrated Science, Engineering, and Math curriculum as required courses.

This called for new, undeveloped humanities, physical education, foreign language, and elective programs to be created and implemented.

This caused a strong backlash of support from the community around Technology High School.

Students, parents, and staff felt that this would severely compromise the integrity of the program.

The district has now publicly stated that they feel that the proposal to relocate Technology High School was a mistake.

Technology High School first occupied the Green Valley building complex, in the northwest corner of the Sonoma State University campus in Rohnert Park, California, from the 1999-2000 academic year through the end of the 2001-2002 academic year.

In 2002, the school moved to the northeast corner of the Ruben Salazar Building on the Sonoma State University campus.

[citation needed] Due to the small-school environment that Technology High School maintains there are at most 3 teachers in one department.
