History
editCrawford County High opened in 1976 after the consolidation of the county's 5 former high schools; Milltown, Marengo, Patoka, Leavenworth, and English. The Jr. High was moved to the high school and the former high schools then turned into the 5 elementary schools and then the later the elementary schools in English and Marengo would fold and the remaining three elementary schools would change names the names to East Crawford, South Crawford, and West Crawford. In 2021 the high school was renovated and there were add ons including the Crawford County Fieldhouse. The high school is nearing its 50th anniversary.

Crawford County's boys sports include basketball, baseball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, track, and wrestling while the girls sports are basketball, cross country, golf, softball, tennis, track, and volleyball. They have a cheer team, dance squad, and pep band that perform at sporting events.
