The current building has been in use since 1962, and prior to that year Robert M. Finley Middle School, the district's current middle school, was used as the high school.
As of the 2018–19 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,033 students and 67.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.3:1. There were 554 students (53.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 75 (7.3% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
Glen Cove High School consists of a two-story building that maintains the shape of multiple rectangles. The high school's facilities include a library-media center, multi-purpose gymnasium, electronic music lab, cafeterias, lecture hall, elevator, auditorium, a state-of-the-art intra-district transmission educational television studio and internet radio station, multiple computer labs including a Mac-specific computer lab, science labs, a physical fitness weight room, and the Old Tappan Road sports complex (adjacent to Old Tappan Rd). There is a courtyard at the center of the structure, yet it is rarely used because of its direct interaction with classes when school is in session. The courtyard is undergoing steps of restoration for it to be accessible by the student body.
The exterior grounds of the high school property have been kept in relatively good condition over the years. Tennis Courts, a wooded area on Old Tappan Rd., approximately three practice fields for football/soccer/lacrosse, two softball fields, two baseball fields, and the J. Cameron Maiden Athletic Field (adjacent to Walnut Rd.) allow for the student-athletes to excel in athletics during the fall and spring seasons.
The high school has recently undergone multiple projects and renovations in order to maintain its structural integrity. The main gym's floor was completely sanded down, repainted (with a brand new floor-design), and redone in the summer of 2009. There was also a complete renovation of the J. Cameron Maiden Athletic Field that included a new eight lane track, four state-of-the-art lights, and new scoreboard. Additionally, new fencing was installed that surrounds the track. Prior to these recently stated renovations, 50% of the high school roof was redone as a result of massive flooding and leaking in the locker rooms and gyms.
Beginning in the summer of 2010 a $3.5 million bond will be put to use to update multiple parts of the district, including new bathrooms and new locker rooms at the high school.
The following projects were eventually completed at the high school as part of the bond and from additional fundraising;
Track
Lights
