Located near Farm to Market Road 521 and south of State Highway 6, just adjacent to Sienna, Texas, the school opened in the fall of 2023.

[2] Almeta Crawford, who is ACHS's eponym, was a long-time employee at FBISD, serving for under half a century working at the district, mostly at Dulles High School.

[13] Seven days following the school's opening, on August 16, a student was arrested when a gun was found in their backpack.

The incident led to greater calls for an increased police presence in FBISD.

The school is structured in a V-esque shape, with a central courtyard separating the learning communities from the commons, fine art facilities, auditorium, and career and technical education facilities.
