Croatan High School is a Public Secondary School located in Newport, North Carolina, and is part of the Carteret County school system. It serves the westernmost third of Carteret County, including the western half of the island Emerald Isle. Ethnically its students are 93% White, 4% Black, 2% Hispanic, and <1% other.[1]
[edit] Architecture
It was built in conjunction with Bogue Sound Elementary School on a 90-acre plot of land, overlooking Bogue Sound. Boney Architects constructed the building in 1997 for about $14 million, at a cost of about $18 thousand per student.[2] It was designed for 800 students, and the student population has since fluctuated around that number.
