Grafton High School was established on 1 January 1912 and opened on 1 July of that year as a formal education system was being established in New South Wales. A new building opened on 17 May 1915.[4]
Since at least the 1960s, but according to an attached note since 1915, the school has been home to the head of an Egyptian mummy.[5]
