Campbell High School was the first high school to open in the Campbell Union High School District. The school was established on September 14, 1900, in Campbell, California.[2] It is also sometimes called Campbell Union High School, and the abbreviation can be found both as CHS or CUHS.

After 80 years, the school was closed in June 1980 due to declining enrollment at the school and within the district.[3] The campus was purchased by the city of Campbell on August 1, 1985, and is now used as a community center.[4]
