History
The school was established in 1867[4] during a copper boom in the Upper Peninsula. The school itself is a product of the powerful Calumet and Hecla Mining Company that once owned and operated much of Calumet. In the late 19th and early 20th century Calumet became a large, prosperous town. The population drastically went down once the mines began to close down during the 1940s and 1950s.

Current courses of study include Academic, Engineering, Business, Tech and Trades. As of 2022[update], Calumet High School offers two AP courses, including AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A.[5]
