The Cayman Islands Middle School was hence begun in September 1979 as a junior high feeding the Cayman Islands High School which became a senior school.

Subsequent changes to the secondary school structure saw the amalgamation of George Hicks High School and the John Gray High School into one all through High School in September 2010.
