It was the first new high school in Pasco County in seven years, built to relieve overcrowding primarily at Wesley Chapel High School. In the first part of the 2006/2007 school year, it was based in portables behind Thomas E. Weightman Middle School and used many of their facilities, such as their cafeteria and media center, before the permanent facility opened in January 2007.

On November 23, 2019, the Wiregrass Ranch Marching Bulls won the FMBC Florida State Class 4A Championships, becoming the first marching band in Pasco County to do so, and placed third in the entire state as well.[2]

On Nov. 11, the Wiregrass Ranch Marching Band won the Class 4A Florida Marching Band Championships in Clearwater, beating out five other schools in the finals and giving the Bulls its second title in five years. The program has been a county powerhouse for years, thanks in part to a supportive booster club and having John Long Middle, which has very good bands and Color Guards as well, as a feeder program.[citation needed]
