The school remains a rival of Kelly Walsh High School, one of Casper's other two high schools along with Roosevelt High School. A fourth nearby high school is Midwest School in Midwest, Wyoming. The drama department has the distinction of being home to International Thespian Society Troupe 1. NCHS is an International Baccalaureate World School. == History and facilities== Natrona County High School was originally known as Casper High School in its early days. The current building was constructed between 1924 and 1941 in Collegiate Gothic style. It was partially built under the authority of the Works Progress Administration; the crest of the WPA visible in the sidewalks on the front campus. In exchange for the federal assistance, male student participation in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps was mandatory until a few years after Kelly Walsh High School opened in 1965. The JROTC at NCHS is the second oldest unit in the nation and will be celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2014. The school's swimming pool was built in 1929, making it the first indoor pool for educational purposes in the state. It was demolished in 2014 during renovations to the building.〔(''Wrecking ball looms for school's historic pool'', Casper Star-Tribune, April 10, 2014 ), retrieved 2014-12-02〕 The campus of the Natrona County High School was the first campus for Casper College, a community college also located in Natrona County Wyoming, which occupied the upper level of NCHS in the late 1940s, before it had a campus of its own. Natrona County High School was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 1, 1994.〔(Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office ).

Kelly did not take part in or directly approve the skit, but took responsibility as the head administrator. Kelly Hornby, executive director for curriculum instruction in Natrona County School District #1, will fill the role of acting principal until a new principal is hired.〔(''NCHS principal resigns after inappropriate skit'', Casper Star-Tribune, September 17, 2014 ).
