The school occupies the campuses previously occupied by two girls' high schools: Hunter Girls' High School and Newcastle Girls' High School. The campus of Newcastle Boys' High School became non-selective and co-educational in 1977 and changed its name to Waratah High School that same year. Later it became Waratah Technology High School then Callaghan College Waratah Technology Campus.

Newcastle High holds a high population of Ravens and the students hold the birds in high regard. By the students - both past and present - Ravens are a symbol of their teen years and are regarded as a mascot for the High School. [5][6][7]
