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.

Contents

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. [2]

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 43rd of the 446 Georgia High Schools, as ranked by SchoolDigger. [3]

As of its fourth year of existence, the Grizzly football team has had one losing season, posting a 7-3 record in its opening season of 2006 and a 9-1 in 2007. Unfortunately, they were playing a Non-Region/JV football schedule and were not eligible for the playoffs. During an official alignment year for the GHSA, 2008, Creekview was placed in Region 7-AAA after a debate of whether or not they should be put in Class AAAA or AAA's Region 6. Region 7-AAA was one of eight regions in the state to have a subregion system, Creekview being placed in subregion A. Creekview started the 2008 season 0-3, losing all three by a combined eight points. The fourth game of the season was their first subregion test in the school's history. The Grizzlies traveled to Gainesville to take on 2007 State Semi-Finalist North Hall. The Trojans, a perfect 10-0 in subregion play at the time, sent Creekview home with its fourth loss of the season. The Grizzlies soon bounced back, winning the last six regular season games and going 5-1 in the subregion, earning the final playoff spot in the tough 7-AAA.

The Creekview Grizzlies football team finished the 2009 season with an overall record of 9–2 and a league record of 5–1. The Grizzlies started the season off with strong wins over Class AAAA's Sequoyah and 2008 Class AAA Runner-Up Flowery Branch, as well as Region 7B-AAA's West Forsyth. The Grizzlies, with a 3-0 record and a Class AAA rank of 7th, had their next test of the season, hosting the North Hall Trojans. Most assumed that 2009 was the year North Hall was vulnerable and would give up its subregion dominance after three straight years and an undefeated subregion record. The Grizzlies were the team predicted to dethrone the Trojans in the subregion A opener, but North Hall had other plans. Creekview soon found themselves down 21-0 early in the second quarter and were outgained on offense nearly 4-1 en route to a 45-21 loss, their first of the season. Since then, Creekview has bounced back strong with six straight wins and will accompany the North Hall Trojans to the state playoffs for the second straight year. As the 3rd seed, Creekview traveled to Carrollton High School to battle the Trojans and were sent home as the only Region 7-AAA to be defeated in the 1st round. Creekview started their 2011 football season strong with a 24-17 win against rival Sequoyah at Creekview. This win was mostly due to the outstanding play of previously home-schooled senior Riley Davis, who had two touchdowns.

Former quarterback, Kyle Wilkie (2016) is now a baseball player at Clemson.
