Chula Vista first opened in the summer of 1947, operating out of a temporary campus in Brown Field Municipal Airport with an estimated student enrollment of 650. By 1949, the student body had grown to just over 900 students between grades 10, 11, and 12; a new school at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and K Street was under construction. A 2006 referendum enabled existing facilities on Fourth Street to become more environmentally friendly; a new performing arts center was also built as a result. In November 2023, San Diego County leaders recently honored the 25 'Most Remarkable Teens,' with Chris Moya from Chula Vista High recognized for LGBTQ+ activism. Chris founded the Genders and Sexualities Club and the Chula Closet Club at their school, creating safe spaces for peers. In January 2024, Sweetwater Union High School District launched a voter registration campaign targeting high school students. The effort, led by Student Board Representative Izayah Ringfield and Trustee Marti Emerald, this initiative aims to visit all district high schools and adult education centers by May. The campaign offers eligible students the opportunity to register or pre-register to vote, with assistance from the League of Women Voters and the county registrar.

The school's athletic teams are nicknamed the Spartans and competes in the Metropolitan – Mesa League under the South Bay League of the CIF San Diego Section.
