History

Cab Calloway School of the Arts started in the fall of 1992 as a middle school called: Creative and Performing Arts School. The school was named after Cab Calloway. It served students from 6th grade to 8th grade, culminating in the "Finale". Students who had gone on to area high schools began to wish that Cab Calloway would add high school grades to its program, and after a few years, they did. During the 1997-1998 school year, the performing arts school added a ninth and tenth grade to the program. In the year 2000, Cab Calloway graduated its first senior class. Five years later, the Class of 2005 would have the distinction of being the largest class to graduate(with 82 members) and the first class since 2000 to have all of its members graduate. In the fall of 2002, the performing arts school celebrated its tenth anniversary with a special show.
