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.

“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
