Massapequa High School's first graduating class, the class of 1956, remained at the elementary school located at Hicksville Road for its freshman year and then spent the next two years at what was to become East Lake Junior High School (now known as East Lake Elementary School). Massapequa High School opened in its own location on Merrick Road in September 1955.
Berner High School opened in 1962 to relieve the growing population of Massapequa High School. In 1987, after a decline in district enrollment, Berner High School closed as a high school and became Berner Middle School, serving 6th–8th grade students in the district.
Massapequa High School underwent an expansion in the northeast corner of the school, with construction of a new wing with eight classrooms completed in September 2007. The school's football and baseball fields, as well as the track, were redone during the spring and summer of 2017; this resulted in the school's tennis courts being relocated towards the south entrance.
Students in the 9th grade attend the Ames Campus, which is separate from the main campus and is adjacent to Lockhart Elementary School.
As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,496 students and 150.7 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.9:1. There were 98 students (6.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 20 (1.3% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The "Chief" mascot and the town's name is in reference to the Massapequa Tribe, which lived on Long Island before the arrival of European settlers in the 1600s.
In 2023, the New York State Board of Regents issued guidance that banned the use of Native American mascots, team names, and logos being displayed in public schools mascot. Districts that fail to comply with this requirement by June 30, 2025 face losing state aid. The Board of Regents cited research from the American Psychological Organization that continued usage of Native American-related symbols and imagery has a negative effect on all students.
In March 2025, a federal judge ruled in favor of the Board of Regents, dismissing a lawsuit by four Long Island districts including Massapequa that challenged the state ban. In April 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social that he supported the preservation of the mascot. Trump urged Linda McMahon, the Secretary of Education, to intervene on behalf of the district. McMahon visited the district in May 2025, announcing that the New York State Department of Education could lose federal funding or be investigated by the Department of Justice if they did not rescind the ban, and stated that the ban is a violation of civil rights. The chief of the Unkechaug Nation claimed that no civil rights were violated, calling the mascot a "caricature".
