  About Us

Creekside High School opened in 1990, due to the closing and consolidation of two community schools, former Campbell (1920-1990) and Palmetto (1970-1990) High Schools. The consolidation also brought about the introduction of a middle school concept, establishing Bear Creek Middle School on an adjoining campus. Creekside was built to house grades nine through twelve and Bear Creek, grades six through eight. Additions to the academic building and gymnasium include a Career Technology facility housing a Horticulture and Information Technology program, a spacious auditorium and theatre, and a sport stadium and fields including tennis courts and a ropes course. Creekside was classified as a Majority to Minority (M-M) School until the 1996-1997 school year. This change in classification occurred for two reasons: changing demographics of the school's attendance zone and redrawing of attendance zones that shifted students from Banneker High School in College Park to Creekside.

Creekside's program allows students to graduate either with college preparation, career technology preparation, or a dual diploma, offering preparation for a two-year associates degree in a technical school and \or a four year college degree. Horticulture and Information Technology are offered through Career Technology. Students can also participate in an apprenticeship program offered countywide with the idea that students will need to have marketable job skills. This program places students on jobs in their field of interest while they are still in high school.

Our JROTC program strengthens leadership skills and character development among our students. Additional special programs for students at Creekside include 9th Grade Academy and Services for Exceptional Children (SEC) classes at all grade levels including; Community-Based Instruction (CBI), Inclusion and Self-Contained. Other programs for students include Criminal Justice and the Aviation Academy—taught by Tuskegee Airman, Ronald Hutchison.
