A message from the Principal
Welcome to Cary High.
Dear Cary High School families, students, and community,
It is my honor to serve as principal of one of North Carolina's oldest and proudest high schools. Every day, our 2,100 students walk these halls carrying curiosity, ambition, and the unmistakable Imps spirit that has defined this community since 1907.
This year our focus is simple: every student, every day, known by name. From the AP Biology lab to the marching band practice field, we are building a school where rigor meets belonging — and where every Imp graduates ready for college, career, and citizenship.
— Dr. Lillian Park, Principal
