The Houghton School, also called the Rock School for its external appearance, was built before 1881.[4] The Portage Lake High School was built to replace the undersized Rock School, but was gutted by fire in 1921. A replacement, Houghton High School, was completed in 1924.[5]

The current building was constructed in 1989[6] up the hill from the previous site. The Portage Lake High School was demolished in 1999.[5][7] An addition was approved in 2008 and completed by 2010 that included a second gym, band room, and various energy efficiency upgrades.[8]
