[edit] School History

Preston High School came into being with the consolidation of Bruceton High, Central Preston High, East Preston High, Preston County Educational Center, Preston County Academic Center, South Preston High, and West Preston High. The school was built in Kingwood on the same campus as the existing vocational and academic center. Originally, Preston High only enrolled students from grades 10-12 but in the fall of 1998, the middle school concept was established in Preston County and ninth graders joined the student body. The school enrollment has been approximately 1,600 since then.
