Provo High School was founded in 1912. It did not graduate its first students until 1921. The students originally met at Provo Center School before a specific high school building was built in 1920. The current Provo High School was built in 2018.<ref>[{{Cite web |url=http://www.provolibrary.com/historical-provo-high-school |title=Provo Library history of Provo High School] |access-date=2012-12-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121126094542/http://www.provolibrary.com/historical-provo-high-school |archive-date=2012-11-26 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Provo High used to offer a "gifted talent magnet" program for 7th and 8th graders called Provo Unlimited Progress. PUP allowed academically gifted students to attend classes at the high school all day. PUP students are kept in classes together for core subjects except in special cases where students require more rigorous coursework. To get in, 6th graders at any of the nearby middle schools participate in a special testing session (usually in November or December) and parents must submit an online application for the student. They ended this program in the 2017-2018 year.<ref>Provo High School. 7/8 Gifted Talented Magnet (PUP): What is PUP? http://provohigh.provo.edu/programs-activities/academics/78-gifted-talented-magnet-pups/ {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150318030306/http://provohigh.provo.edu/programs-activities/academics/78-gifted-talented-magnet-pups/ |date=2015-03-18 }}</ref>
