Jasper High School was built in 1978 and subsequent remodeling was carried out in 2002. The facilities include 206,000 square feet, built on 50 acres of land. In 2014, the school was once again recognized as an Indiana "four star school". Jasper draws students from the Bainbridge, Madison and Boone townships in Dubois County.
On May 2, 2011, the main gym collapsed due to a buildup of rainwater on the roof, causing the school to be temporarily closed. The school used the Cabby O'Neill Gymnasium, located near the courthouse on 6th street, Jasper, as a temporary replacement while a new gymnasium was built. This was the first time the Cabby O’Neill had hosted Jasper High School athletic events since 1977. The school rebuilt the gymnasium and an open house and dedication ceremony was held on September 20, 2013. The new gymnasium has a seating capacity of 4,800.
The demographic breakdown of the 1,095 students enrolled in 2013-2014 was:
21.0% of the students were eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Eight Jasper High School athletic teams have won Indiana High School Athletic Association state championships with the most recent being in 2006. Boys basketball captured the school's first title in 1949, winning the state's iconic single class postseason tournament. The Wildcats nipped Madison, 62-61, at Butler Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
