Sanford High School began offering high school level classes in 1887, and during the 20th century was the first school in the State of Maine to earn state accreditation and New England accreditation, a status which has since been continuous. Prior to 1969, the school accepted tuition students from many outlying communities. Along with the Sanford Regional Technical Center, this facility has been located in Sanford, Maine, in the current school building since 1970, along with up to twenty-four classrooms in portable structures around the main building. A new $103,000,000 campus is expected to open in August 2018 at 100 Alumni Boulevard with expanded programs in the regional technical center, integrated academic programs, and state-of-the-art academic, technical, and performing arts facilities as well as much enhanced athletic fields and indoor facilities along with a competition turf field stadium. The Sanford High School's campus population, as of the 2017-2018 school year, is approximately 1,050 students, along with additional students from seven other sending schools attending the Sanford Regional Technical Center for half-day, year-round programs. The new facility with additional regional technical offerings is designed for 1,800 students.
Sanford High School is a member of the Southwestern Maine Athletics Association (SMAA) which is in Western Maine Class A. The mascot was the "Redskins" prior to 2012, when the school decided to change their mascot due to claims from the Native American tribes of Maine that it was offensive. The students voted to change their mascot to the "Spartans." Current facilities include Cobb Stadium (American football, soccer, track and field), Goodall Park (baseball, field hockey), Witham St. Fields (softball), Shaw Field (sub-varsity soccer teams), and the Sanford Veterans Memorial Gymnasium (basketball and wrestling). Opening at the new campus in the fall of 2018 will be the outdoor championship-calibre facilities of Alumni Stadium (football, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, track and field), softball field, and tennis courts; in addition, the campus will include sub-varsity and practice fields. Indoor facilities will include two gymnasiums as well as fitness and wrestling practice facilities.
