The construction of Lively District Secondary School started in the spring of 1956. It wasn't ready for occupancy until February 1957. The official school opening was April 8, 1957.
There were only one hundred and twenty students between grade nine and thirteen on the first day of classes in 1957. The enrollment for the 1999-2000 school year was about five hundred and fifty students. Additions weren't started until 1964-1965 and the major additions weren't done until 1970. These additions added a major part of the school as it stands today. During the tornado of August 1970, the west wing that was under construction was blown down and had to be rebuilt.
In May 1972, the name Lively High School was changed to Lively District Secondary School. The school added a restaurant style cafeteria in January 1997 where hot food is served daily including fries and soup. It was named the "Cyber Caf".
