Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from 'high school' (secondary school) with 'senior' marking the upper or later stage, so a learner who knows the constituents can infer it refers to the higher-level part of secondary education. This follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern of noun modification and is therefore directly comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Senior high school may come from splitting school into stages: senior meant the older students and high school meant the level after basic or middle school. So, the name now means the public secondary school you go to 'after junior high' for older teens.
