Cabin John opened in 1967 as a junior high school, and its mascot was the roadrunner. In 1987, the school closed due to declining enrollment, and all students in the area attended Hoover. However, the county decided to reopen Cabin John in 1989 as a middle school. When it reopened, its mascot became the cougar.
Students who attend Cabin John are from the feeder elementary schools Seven Locks, Bells Mill, Stone Mill, and Cold Spring. The students that attended Bells Mill and Seven Locks Elementary Schools go on to attend Winston Churchill High School. Students from Cold Spring and Stone Mill Elementary Schools go on to attend Thomas Wootton High School.

Modernization
Cabin John underwent a complete renovation from 2009 to 2011. During the 2009–2010 and 2010–2011 school years, students attended a holding school located on Tilden Lane in Rockville, Maryland. The new building is LEED certified as an environmentally friendly structure. It uses geothermal energy. The renovation had an estimated cost of about $48 million, and it included an asbestos-abatement program.
Student awards
In Spring 2001, two eighth-grade students were awarded first place in the region in the NASA Student Involvement Program's 2000–2001 competition, "Watching Earth Change" category.
Teacher awards
In Fall 1998, the school's guidance department received the MSDE Guidance Department Award. This recognition was the first in Maryland for an entire guidance department. The award was especially important to the members of the guidance department because the state based the award on input from administrators, teachers, parents and students.
In September 1999, the Maryland Middle School Association awarded the school an MMSA Exemplary School Award, recognizing the school for its focus on its staff development program. In Spring 2004, Teacher Bobbie Chase received the Abe Pollin Award for her years of impact in the community.
In Spring 2007, Jackie Geer, a sixth-grade science teacher, received the Maryland Environmental Educator of the Year award from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for 2007.
