Creekview High School is a public high school located in the Macedonia community, east of Canton, Georgia, United States. The school was opened in August 2006 with 9th and 10th graders. For the 2007/2008 school year, 11th graders were added. The first senior class graduated in May 2009. The high school is directly across the road from Creekland Middle School.
In the first year of the high school, the ninth grade resided in one hall of the middle school. The following year, the students moved to the new building across the street and were joined by the rising freshmen.
Creekview was originally to be named "Joseph E. Brown High School." However, the community preferred a nice-sounding name vaguely connected to the Creek Indian tribe. After a petition and protests, the school board agreed to send the issue to a naming committee, which recommended the name "Creekview High School."
Creekview is part of the Cherokee County School District (CCSD). CCSD is a rural/metro district located approximately 40 miles north of Atlanta. The school district encompasses more than 423 square miles with Creekview being one of the six high schools serving the community. CCSD was one of the first districts to achieve District Accreditation as a Quality School System (SACS CASI). Creekview High School is accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
Creekview is currently rated as 52nd of the 420 Georgia High Schools, as ranked by SchoolDigger.
13 CHS students were selected for GHP in 2008 and 2009; this was the highest number among Cherokee County high schools.
The Unquiet Library is the name of the Creekview High School Media Center. It opened in July 2006 and houses over 8,000 print titles and 200 reference books in its Gale Virtual Reference Library. As of February 2009, the library has a collection of over 13,000 circulating materials; the digital collection consists of several databases purchased by the library as well as materials accessible through GALILEO, Georgia's Virtual Library.
