History
Early development
In August 1992, Hampton High School’s official school colours were chosen as black, silver and white, much to the dismay of the alumni of the former Hampton Consolidated School, whose school colours were green and white.[3]
Opening of the School
Hampton High School opened its doors on September 8, 1992, to around 640 students. The school was established to alleviate the overcrowding at Kennebecasis Valley High School, which at the time enrolled over 1,900 students.[4]
Hampton High initially housed grades 10–12. In August 1996, grade 9 was moved from Hampton Junior High School. In August 1997, grade 9 students from Macdonald Consolidated School moved in and four additional classrooms were added.[5]

Hampton High School's campus includes multiple courses taught by approximately 30 teachers in 2022-23. The exterior of the school has a baseball/softball field, soccer field with a small, 400-metre track, tennis courts, a skateboard park, an outdoor basketball court, and a trail that leads to the town's Spooner Island.

Drama Productions
Most high schools' drama productions are some of a school's biggest events, and that majority includes Hampton High. These drama teams made of students work really hard all for a long time, and in parts of the year, they practice almost every day. It isn't just the on-stage performers that do a lot of work, but also these students that work behind the scenes. These drama productions showcase a lot of artistic ability from the students, and on show time, they get great feedback from their hard work and skills.
