Yokota High School started construction in the 1970s after a deal was struck with the Government of Japan to modernize Yokota Air Base in exchange for Air Force property in Greater Tokyo.[4] Yokota High School officially opened in 1973. The school was designed as a "school with open doors" and students had a modular schedule containing 27 mods that they could choose from. The modular schedule continued under the next 2 principals.[5]
