Their main rival is Warrensburg High School, and they are a member of the West Central Conference (WCC), which includes Nevada, Clinton, Warrensburg, St. Pius X, O'Hara, and Center.
Smith-Cotton was founded in 1927 by Sarah Cotton. The first principal was Heber U. Hunt, who went on to serve as superintendent. When the school was founded, there were 24 staff members and 21 classes. In recent years, the old high school on Broadway was converted to Smith-Cotton Junior High, and a new high school was built on the south side of Sedalia. Jennie Jaynes Stadium was replaced with Jennie Jaynes Activities Complex and Tiger Stadium a few years later.
