Cambridge High and Latin School

History

A public grammar school called the "lattin schoole" was established in Cambridge in 1648. The Cambridge High School began in 1848 in a building at the corner of Amory and Summer streets. In 1886, the institution was divided into the Cambridge Latin School and the Cambridge English High School. Cambridge Rindge and Latin was formed in 1977 through a merger of Cambridge High and Latin, Rindge Technical, and two alternative programs. The high school building underwent renovations between 2009 and 2011.
