History
Cary High School was established in 1896 as the first public high school in North Carolina. The school was originally located in downtown Cary on Academy Street, until it moved to its current location in 1960. The original site, formerly Cary Elementary School, reopened August 13, 2011 as the Cary Community Arts Center.
A new auditorium, gymnasium, music classrooms, and a classroom building have recently been completed on the main campus.
The original mascot was a white Imp, but the "white" was dropped when the school was desegregated.

I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
