The high school is one of the most expensive and largest in NISD, costing the district $131.7 million dollars to build and spanning 75 acres.[4][5] NISD announced in August 2021 that Sotomayor will open with no senior class, allowing all seniors previously zoned for William H. Taft High School, John Marshall Harlan High School, and Sandra Day O'Connor High School to finish their final year at their respective school.[6]
