Cary Junior High was established in 1969. Servicing 900 students in 6th to 8th grade, the school is highly supported by the Cary community. Year after year, the school is recognized for its academic achievements throughout McHenry County and collar county districts based on standardized testing results. We are proud of our students’ commitment to academics.
