The group consists of core members Rory Trobbiani and Luke Scott, with Lilli Trobbiani also involved in live performances. They formed around the early 2020s and quickly gained attention for their moody, nostalgic sound that mixes post-punk, shoegaze, synth-pop, and indie rock influences.

HighSchool released a series of early EPs and singles such as Forever at Last and Accelerator, building a strong following in Australia and overseas. Their self-titled debut album HighSchool (2025) marked a major milestone, showcasing a more developed sound that blends 80s-inspired new wave with modern indie and alternative production. They are often associated with the international “Windmill scene” style of indie music and have toured across the UK, Europe, and the US, while continuing to grow their presence in Australia’s alternative music scene. Overall, HighSchool are known for a dark, dreamy, and nostalgic indie sound, sitting between post-punk revival and modern alternative electronic pop.
