Turner High School had passed 3,000 students, so a site near Josey Lane and Jackson Road was acquired for a second campus.

The new facility opened[4] in the fall of 1975, housing eighth and ninth-grade students living north of Belt Line Road.

Newman Smith's student population grew rapidly[5] in the 1980s and 1990s as new housing developments were built in north area of Carrollton.

To relieve the overcrowding, Smith's boundaries were adjusted in 1988, moving approximately five hundred students who lived south of Jackson and Keller Springs roads back to R.L.

By the mid-1990s enrollment at Newman Smith was nearing 3,000 students and construction began on Creekview High School, the district's third.

It was opened in the fall of 1998 and Smith's southern attendance boundary was moved back to Belt Line Road.
