When founded, the school mascot was a comet, but the mascot was changed to a Native American warrior, a Redskin prior to the 1936-37 school year.
In 2017, renovations began on the aging Anderson High School building as a result of a passage of a bond issue in 2014. The project included the installation of air conditioning, new science labs and art spaces, a multipurpose area off of the school's east side, upgraded security technology, handicap-accessibility features, and overall improvements to learning spaces. Construction is said to be done by the end of 2019.
