White Pine Middle School was constructed in 1999 to accommodate classes taught in 6th and 7th grade for the northern portion of the Cache County School District. The original mascot was the Elk, and the school colors were White and Pine Green. White Pine covered most of northern Cache County from Smithfield north to the Idaho border, west to Clarkston, and back south to Tremonton. Students coming from Lewiston Elementary and Park Elementary to White Pine had their first interaction with multiple class schedules, lockers, multiple teachers and subjects, and submesters.

In 2018, the Cache County School District made dramatic changes to boundaries and classes. Park Elementary would be shut down after 92 years of service, and White Pine would be the new Elementary School of Richmond teaching K-6th grades. Shellie Healy, the principal of Park would move over to be the first Principal of White Pine Elementary. The Middle School portion of 7th Grade would be moved to North Cache.

Along with the change of grades and staff, the original mascot and colors were also changed. Students had the chance to vote for a new mascot and the students voted to have the Eagle as the new mascot, along with the new colors of the school be Blue and White.

Because White Pine would now be an Elementary School, a playground on the north side of the school was added for recess.
