Students in grades 9-12 attend Cary High. In 2006, approximately 2,800 students attended, with 540 graduating seniors, making Cary High one of the largest schools in the state. Cary High is a part of the Wake County Public School System and operates on a traditional calendar.
A recent growth in student population resulted in the addition of a satellite campus "9th Grade Center"(formerly East Cary Middle School) roughly a 1/2 mile from the main campus. Both parts of the school are located on Maynard Road in Cary. Additionally, a new auditorium, gymnasium, music classrooms, and a classroom building have recently been completed in construction on the main campus.
