Spring High School

Spring High School opened in 1969. Spring High was built along Interstate 45 from which passing drivers could see the school. In 1976 Spring High School South opened, taking ninth graders from Spring High School. In 1981 and 1982 Spring High South renamed itself Westfield High School and became its own four-year institution. In 2000 the Richard C. Crain Fine Arts Building opened on the property of Spring High School. It was named after Richard Crain, who directed band at Spring and Westfield and became the director of music.^[5]

It is located along Interstate 45, about 20 miles (32 km) north of Downtown Houston.^[12] In the 1990s banners about the school's achievements were posted so commuters on I-45 could view them.^[13]

The original Spring High School campus was built in 1969. In 1996, the Spring ISD Board of Trustees agreed to a 3-year 20 million dollar renovation project that included additional buildings, a new cafeteria, a new baseball field, a softball field and two new gymnasiums. In 2000 the Richard C. Crain Fine Arts Building was built to accommodate the Spring Band, Spring Choir and the Lion Players Theatre Company. In 2009 the Spring High School Performing Arts Center was built after the renovation of the original auditorium.^{[citation needed]}
