Kelso High was established on 27 January 1976 in Waterworks Lane, Gormans Hill,
Bathurst
. It commenced with a teaching staff of 16, an ancillary staff of 8 and a student enrolment of 236 divided almost equally between Year 7 and
Year 8
.
[3]
The school moved to its present site in 1978 and remains on this site, despite a fire that totally destroyed the school in August 2005.
[4]
The school was housed in demountable buildings while a new school was being built. The new buildings were finished by the end of 2007, three months ahead of schedule. Students started the 2008 school year in the new facilities.

The 2005 fire which destroyed Kelso High led to the formation of Denison College of Secondary Education. The college was created to share curriculum, facilities and staff between Kelso and Bathurst High campuses in order to enhance student choice.
