Histori
The history of Central Crossing High School began with the Issue 7 issue on November 3, 1998. The issuance of $ 128 million worth of bonds, 7th Edition includes the construction of four new/fifth/sixth grade buildings, a new secondary school, a substitute building for Park Street Secondary Schools, for Hayes Engineering School, addition, renovation, demolition of district facilities, and obtaining land for school facilities. This problem passed with 17,003 votes in favor of bond issuance and 14,914 votes for bond issues.
The first stone laying for Central Crossing High School took place in 2000. The school officially opened its doors on August 28, 2002. Home to no seniors in its inaugural year, this school only accommodates 1005 students. However, registration jumped to 1,415 in the next school year after receiving another new class.
Failure of 2009 retribution
Due to the lack of funding derived from repeated failures to propose the proposed local taxes, all the extracurricular activities offered to the student body by the South-Western City School school became hiatus. On October 12, 2009, the District Education Council approved a measure allowing "Pay for Play" participation, where activities are open for enrollment by students who directly contribute to their funding, given that the taxes filed will eventually be approved by voters.
