Creekview High School is a public high school located in Canton, Georgia. The school was opened in 2006, and the first class graduated in 2009. The high school is directly across the road from Creekland Middle School. During 2005, the first year of the high school, the lone 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 High School was originally going to be named "Joseph E. Brown High School". However, once the community found out the future name of their high school, they made it known they preferred to name it after a local native American 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".[1]

Creekview has many successful athletic teams.
In only 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 for the Grizzlies, 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 8 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 8 points. The fourth game of the season was their first subregion test in the schools 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 4th loss of the season. The Grizzlies soon bounced back, winning the last 6 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 3 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 6 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. Ceekview 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. Creekview's next game will be far away from home at North West Whitfield.
