The $8 million Bettendorf High School was completed in 1973 with a new industrial arts/locker room addition and athletic stadium completed in 1980. The six-building, air-conditioned complex is highlighted by a landscaped inner courtyard, a planetarium, spacious library/media center, resource centers in each instructional area, fully networked computer labs, a 405 seat auditorium/theater, and an expansive field house with an Olympic-sized swimming pool.


Before 1973, the high school was located next to Neil Armstrong Elementary, in a building now utilized by the Mississippi Bend Area Education Agency (AEA 9).
