The house was dismantled and moved to Tehachapi where it served as the high school until the original high school buildings could be completed. The current campus was opened in 2003 after the community passed a $1.5 million bond in 1999 for the purpose of building a new high school. It is divided into wings with an open plan. There are no interior hallways at Tehachapi High. The design originated with a Central Valley school without the Tehachapi Valley's wind. When the school first opened, students were injured by the wind slamming doors open and shut, requiring changes to the doors' construction.The gym and cafeteria underwent major transformations to give it a cafe-like feel with bar stools, booths, and individual seating to accommodate nearly 1,700 students using funds that could not be used to pay staff or for educational purposes. Over a summer, the Associated Student Body team got together to effect the changes.

The Errea House, a historic house located at 311 S. Green St. in Tehachapi, California, is the house is the only surviving building from the settlement of Tehichipa, the first town in the Tehachapi area. Tehichipa was founded in 1869, and the house was built sometime between 1870 and 1875. In 1876, the Southern Pacific Railroad bypassed Tehichipa, instead establishing a new townsite at Tehachapi Summit, which later became Tehachapi. The railroad's action led to the decline of Tehichipa's shipping industry, and the town's residents gradually moved to Tehachapi. The Errea House was moved to Tehachapi as well around 1900. No buildings from the original settlement survive at the site of Tehichipa, and the Errea House is the only building remaining from the town. The Errea House is now located across from the Tehachapi Museum, where it helps illustrate the city's early history.The Errea House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 29, 1997.

Tehachapi Pass (Kawaiisu: Tihachipia, meaning "hard climb") is a mountain pass crossing the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County, California. Traditionally, the pass marks the northeast end of the Tehachapis and the south end of the Sierra Nevada range. The route is a principal connector between the San Joaquin Valley and the Mojave Desert. The Native American Kitanemuk people used the pass as a trade route before the American settlement of the region in the 19th century. The main line of the former Southern Pacific Railroad opened though the pass in 1876; the tracks are now owned by the Union Pacific Railroad and shared with BNSF Railway as the Mojave Subdivision. U.S. Route 466 was built in the 1930s, and the road is now State Route 58. The Pass is also the route of the planned California High-Speed Rail line. The Tehachapi Mountains are also crossed by Tejon Pass at the southwest end of the range.
