Springdale Public Schools operated Springdale HS as the district's lone high school since it was built in 1961. Studies in the early 2000s indicated the district would exceed the 2,500 student capacity of SHS by 2005.

The George family donated a 43 acres (17 ha) tract on the east side of Springdale to the school district in January 2002, but school administration wanted a larger tract for the second high school campus.[8]
On January 22, 2002, the school board voted to buy 120 acres (49 ha) of land on the west side of town for $2.4 million ($4.20 million in current dollars).[8] Construction of a $36.3 million ($60.40 million in current dollars) campus completed in time to open Har-Ber High School for the 2005 school year.
