When Crockett's doors first opened in 1963, we were the orange and white Crockett Volunteers. It was a junior high school with more than 500 students in the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. Felix "Hoot" Gibson, who served as the school's first principal, remembers how it was that first summer of 1963:
"We had a brand-new vacant building with no furniture. We had to mold a new faculty, all new textbooks, no computers so we had to register about 500 students by hand. Everything out here was new. Everything we did we were doing for the first time."
