History

edit

Tates Creek High School was built, and founded in 1965 as the last of three schools on the Tates Creek Campus. (Tates Creek Elementary School and Tates Creek Middle School being the other two.) In 1993, Tates Creek High underwent renovations to significantly increase its size.[3] In August 2019, it was decided a new Tates Creek High School would be constructed behind the original building which opened on Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022.[4] The original building was demolished in June 2022.
