The school is named after Jo Byrns, the 41st Speaker of the House who lived in Cedar Hill. Jo Byrns High School was a K-12 school, until Jo Byrns Elementary School opened in August 2006, making Jo Byrns High School a 6-12 school.[4] On August 19, 2016, the school's football field was vandalized after someone drove a vehicle on the field. The damages cost an estimated $1,000 to repair. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all students within the school are required to wear masks until further notice as ordered by the board of education for Robertson county. Students must also walk along the right side of the hallway (similar to driving a car) and eat lunch inside of their classrooms as opposed to the cafeteria to prevent the spread of the virus.[5]
