History

In 1838, George Cutsinger donated land at 500 East Main Cross for a public school. This school burned in 1867 and was replaced in 1869 by a new building on Schoolhouse Hill north of the present high school. This two-story brick building was used until 1911, and the school was razed and replaced a year later with the gymnasium and vocational areas added in the basement. In 1924, a new junior/senior high school was annexed to the north to accommodate the influx of new students related to the opening of nearby Camp Atterbury. A separate annex was added in 1953. The high school students relocated to a new nearby building in 1971, and the building on Schoolhouse Hill was reused as a middle school until 1980, when it was torn down.

The Edinburgh Community School Corporation discussed renaming the athletic field on Campbell Street at the west end of campus in memory of former physical education teacher Steve Hollenbeck, following his death in 2012.

In 2014 the bleachers at the school were damaged by high winds. [4]

The school's 2013-14 handbook contains a history of the school corporation.

Crispus Attucks High School is a high school of the Indianapolis Public Schools in Indianapolis, in the U.S. state of Indiana.

The school was built near Indiana Avenue northwest of downtown Indianapolis and opened on September 12, 1927, when it was the only public high school in the city designated specifically for African Americans. Despite the passage of federal and state school desegregation laws, Attucks was the city's only high school with a single-race student body in 1953, largely due to residential segregation, and remained a segregated school until 1971. Attucks was converted to a junior high school in 1986, due to declining enrollment, and a middle school in 1993. It became a medical magnet high school in 2006, partially due to the school's proximity to the campus of the Indiana University School of Medicine and its associated hospitals.
