History

edit

The Education Board granted both Hamilton and Cambridge to form high schools at the same time in 1883.[3] The Cambridge District High School opened on 2 July 1883.[4] In the beginning, primary and high school education happened in the same room, as an initial 23 pupils did not justify having separate rooms or buildings.[5]
