Campbell High School was the first high school to open
in Campbell, California. It opened it's doors on September
14, 1900 with 35 students 23 girls, and 12 boys. Two
teachers were hired to educate the students.

In 1904 the school was moved to a bigger building on
the southeast corner of Winchester and   Campbell Avenues.
In 1936 they built again on the northwest corner of the same
intersection, where the buildings still are today.

After 80 years the school closed in June 1980 due to low enrollment.
In August of 1985 the city of Campbell purchased the property,
and it is now used as a community center.
Today this building is the Campbell Heritage Theater.
