David Crockett High School:

• Founded in 1968, our school was named after David "Davy" Crockett, whose influence and standing are profound in the State of Texas. Crockett left his mark in many areas: pioneering, politics, wars and as an author. The Battle of the Alamo is probably what he is most famous for as he led a group of volunteers from Tennessee to help the Texans in their fight for freedom.

• Now in our fifth year of Redesign, Crockett has been recognized as a model for Standards-Based grading and curriculum.
