History

Шаблон:Expand section On September 18, 1991, 17-year-old Arthur Jermel Jack was killed by 15-year-old LaKeeta Cadoree, in the cafeteria. Cadoree, still holding the gun, went to the school's office, called her mother, and asked to be taken home. Cadoree then "broke down", according to the Associated Press. The school's assistant principal was able to calm her down and convince her to surrender her weapon.[4] She was arrested, tried, and convicted for Jack's murder and was released after serving 22 years in prison.[5][6] In 2000 Rudolph Thomas, the principal, resigned from his position. Deborah Frank, an assistant principal, became the new principal.[7]

Football is high on the list of priorities at Crosby High School. This is evidenced by the fact that the head football coach, Jeff Riordan, is paid more than the principal. Jeff Riordan's salary was $117,896, while the principal's (Terry Perkins) salary was only $113,000.[8]
