Between 2011 and 2015, major renovations took place to the existing school building by the Boston-based architecture firm Flansburgh Architects.[4]
The yearbook of Sutton High is known as the Exitus, and is known to have been published as far back as 1938.[5] The school's student newspaper is known as Sutton High News.[6]
