and erected a brick school building. In the fall of 1933, the four-year high school formally opened. The first graduating class had 24 students and a faculty of seven.
After many years of overcrowding, a larger facility (95 classrooms) was built to replace the old High School and in the fall of 1997 the high school moved to its current location. The new facility opened its doors to a student community of 1,857 and 90 teachers. Currently, Antioch High School has an enrollment of 2,454 and 132 teachers. Despite the newer facility and the building of a second high school, Cane Ridge High School, to serve the Antioch area, AHS still suffers from overcrowding. An increase in the student population for the 2002-2003 school year necessitated the use of the teachers’ lounge, TV studio, and hospitality room as instruction areas. Antioch also has 25 portable classrooms, and three teachers "float" between classrooms due to the crowded conditions in the building and the increase in enrollment.
The old High School building, located at 5050 Blue Hole Road, is now home to Antioch Middle School. According to statistics released in 2011 by MNPS, Antioch High School's student body demographic is 47% African American, 25% White, 24% Hispanic, 3% Asian and 1% other.
