Denton High School was established in 1884. In 1910 it moved to what is now Calhoun Middle School. In 1957 it moved again to its current location on Fulton Street. In the 1990s, DHS yielded grades 10–12 to the newly opened Ryan High School until 1995. In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.[3]

After voters approved a May 2018 Capital Improvement Plan, Denton ISD purchased land to rebuild Denton High School at a new location and expand the school land size from 35 acres to 150 acres. The site is located north of Windsor Drive, west of North Bonnie Brae Street and south of North Elm Street (U.S. Hwy 77) near the University of North Texas Discovery Park and less than 1.5 miles from the current Denton High location at 1007 Fulton Street.[4]
