Crockett High School is located at the corner of Menchaca Road and Stassney Lane.

Crockett's first principal, Forrest Kline, teachers and students enjoyed lunch in the courtyard amongst massive boulders and oak trees because the cafeteria had not been completed.

Actor Fess Parker, best known for his 1950s portrayals of Davy Crockett for Walt Disney,[2] attended the school's first pep rally.

[3] In 1971, a federal judge ordered Anderson High School in East Austin closed because it was still racially segregated.

African-American students from the old Anderson High School were bused to Crockett starting in the fall of that year.
