Cedarbrae Secondary School was granted by the then-Scarborough Board of Education in 1958 at a cost of over $3,500,000 on the hillside overlooking the site of Peter Secor's grist mill of 1830, on the west side of the Markham Road. Drawn by the architects Hugh L. Allward and G. Roper Gouinlock, the building was built in 1959 and opened for classes in September 1961 as Scarborough's seventh collegiate as well as the first composite hybrid academic and vocational high school with its first principal, Howard Campbell. The school adopted its present name Cedarbrae Collegiate Institute later on. Cedarbrae C.I. celebrated its 50th Anniversary on May 27, 2011
The school was featured in the 1999 film Detroit Rock City.
The school is the largest by size in Scarborough consisting of 16 acres located on Markham Road, south of Lawrence Ave, north of Eglinton Ave and one of the largest schools by size in the former Scarborough Board of Education (the other being Woburn, David and Mary Thomson, Albert Campbell and Midland Avenue). The facilities include a gymnasium which can be partitioned into three smaller gymnasiums, a pool, 2 auto technology shops, a film studio, a fitness room and dance studio next to it, a cafeteria with a serving room on the southwestern side, the main and guidance offices on the northm and a library (Howard R. Campbell Resource Centre). Cedarbrae also has a 400m track behind the school facing west and is one of the few schools in Toronto thots which still has a performance theater stage in its auditorium which was named "John Grabb Theatre" after its founding principal.
