The current school building was built in the early 1990s to accommodate an ever-expanding student enrollment and opened in the spring of the 1991–92 school year. The school was built to handle an enrollment of up to 2,500 students; it was over-capacity from its opening and filled to capacity through the late 2000s.

Theater
School Song
Cheer, cheer for our blue and white,
We play the game with all of our might.
Buena colts will never say die,
Just shake down the thunder from the sky.
Whether we win, or whether we lose,
Buena High Colts will not have the blues.
While our loyal fighting team goes marching to victory‐‐marching to victory!!!

Buena was built with a large theater for use by both the high school and the community. The Buena Performing Arts Center (BPAC)[2] main auditorium can seat from 907 to as many as 1319 by opening the two 'pods'. The Little Theater Pod seats 206 and features a small stage with self-contained computer lighting and sound. The Lecture Pod seats 213 and is ideal for group meetings. Several school, community, and commercial events are held in the various BPAC facilities each year. Buena's performing arts program was also ranked among the top in the nation, led by beloved fine arts teacher, Carrie Duerk.
