For most of its history, it has been the only high school in Keams Canyon. For a time in the late 1990s and 2000s, the school was a public charter, though it changed back to a BIE school in 2005. In November 2013, Charles Youvella, a running back and defensive back for Hopi's football team, incurred a head injury during a Division V playoff game against the team from Arizona Lutheran Academy; he lined up for two more plays, then collapsed on the field. He was in critical condition by the time he reached St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix and died two days later.
