Creston High School (Michigan)

Creston High School opened in 1923 as Creston Junior High School. The first class graduated in 1927. Creston High School was one of the five high schools in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It currently houses around 1045 students and around 55 teachers making the teacher to student ratio about 1:19, a little higher than the state average of 1:18. This does not take into consideration the special education students and teacher ratio. Creston High School was originally a junior high school started in 1917.

The school mascot was the polar bear. The colors were blue and gold.

As part of a realignment among Grand Rapids Public Schools high schools, Creston was consolidated with Grand Rapids Central High School. The consolidated high school keeps the Grand Rapids Central High School name and location. Students who live too far from Grand Rapids Central's location have been allowed to attend the high school nearest their neighborhood, including Grand Rapids City High-Middle School which moved into the former Creston High School building. The realignment took place for the 2013-14 school year.
