It is one of the oldest [[high school]]s in [[Uttar Kannada]]<ref>Gibb high school centenary report - <file deleted!></ref> district. The school was established on 4 June 1908. It was initially named '''New English School, Kumta''' to distinguish it from the then existing Kumta Municipal, A.V. School.{{citation needed|date=December 2019}}<br />

The school was renamed as Gibb High School as a token of gratitude to M.C. Gibb, the Commissioner of Southern Division for his help in getting recognition and bringing this school under [[grant-in-aid]] in 1911. Accommodating 100 students, a hostel called Pandit Hostel for the pupils was constructed later.{{citation needed|date=December 2019}}<br />
