At the beginning of the 1900s, there were few high schools to educate the sons of the working class and the rising middle class. In
September 1912, the Revds. Ernest Price and David Davies — Principal and Tutor, respectively, of Calabar Theological College, founded Calabar High School under the joint

In 2008, the school Rugby Union team created history: for the first time, it placed a team in the finals of all four competitions entered. The boys won the Under-19 15-a-side competition for the second time in school's history and were runners-up in the under 16 version. The team was coached by old

In 1868, Calabar
College was removed to East Queen Street, Kingston, where a "normal" school for training teachers and a high school for boys were added. Shortly afterwards, the high school was closed and the teacher-training activities ceased. This left the practising school—now Calabar All-Age on

In sports the school dominates all major sporting areas, including track and field, football, basketball, cricket, badminton, and rugby. Calabar was the first school in
Jamaica to have a swimming pool and won the inter-schools swimming competition repeatedly for many years. When the school was

The high school opened 12 September 1912, with 26 boys; the foundation was laid in the
Christian tradition. Rev. Price was the first headmaster. Within a year enrollment had reached 80 and the school had received government recognition. An early benefactor was Elizabeth Purscell, who in 1919

In 1952, Calabar
Theological College and Calabar High School moved from their location at Studley Park to Red Hills Road, where 60 acres (240,000 m) of land (then called "Industry Pen") had been purchased for the re-siting of both institutions. At the time, this was a thinly populated,

and the High School took over the vacated space. This is the section of the premises which the boys now call "Long Island." At about this time a portion of the
Calabar lands was sold, to be used for commercial and residential development. A privately run Extension School was added in 1971.
502:
In 1978, the school adopted a shift system incorporating the day and extension schools, at the request of the
Ministry of Education. There are over 1600 students on roll, with eight forms in each year group between grades 7 and 11, and four forms in grades 12 and 13 (sixth form).
554:
relocated to Red Hills Road in 1953, the boys helped to construct the new pool. At the Annual Boys and Girls
Athletics Championships, the competition for which the school is most famous, Calabar is the only boys school to have won Champs titles in every decade since the 1930s.
515:
One major accomplishment is in the
Schools' Challenge Quiz, where Calabar is the only school to win the competition three consecutive years. Its team has been to six finals in one decade, the most of any school, competing in 2001, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2012.
511:
Major scholarships —such as the
Jamaica and Rhodes Scholarships— have been awarded to Calabar students. Sports, particularly athletics, have always been important and the Inter-Schools’ Athletics Championships ("Champs") Trophy has been won 26 times since 1930.
