Welcome

This is the official web site for the Will C. Crawford High School Alumni. The Will C. Crawford High School Foundation, Inc. was established on April 29th, 1993.Our efforts work to strengthen the reputation of Will C. Crawford High School as a premiere public high school and a source of pride to our community.

The Crawford Foundation was founded by the Will C. Crawford Alumni
Association as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation whose purpose is to raise funds to be expended for the benefit of the students at Crawford High. The
Foundation is an umbrella organization and serves as the official liaison for
Crawford High Alumni and their respective graduating class. We handle
alumni relations and contact information for grads and class reunions, and
provide funding for academic programs, student achievement, and facilities improvement.

We maintain a database of Crawford Alumni so we can keep them informed of what is happening at their alma mater, and so that reunion chairs can find them more easily to ensure the success of reunion events. If your are an alumnus please keep us informed of your most current contact information. If you have an e-mail address, please provide it to us and be sure to keep it current. We have included an Alumni Contact Questionnaire Form on this website to help you keep our records up-to-date. You will find the Alumni Membership form under the Links section of this Home Page.

Today Will C. Crawford High is known as Crawford High Educational Complex, and is made-up of four different schools on the one campus. Schools include The Multimedia and Visual Arts School, School of Law & Business, Invention and Design Education Academy, and School of Community Health and Medical Practices.

Crawford High School
School Profile

The first Principal of Will C. Crawford High School was Mary I. McMullen in 1957, who prior to the opening of the new school was the Principal at Lincoln High. During the 2003 – 2004 school year, Mary Jo Asbury served as the last Crawford High School Principal. Then in the following 2004 – 2005 school year, with Mary Jo Asbury still at the site, the change came, and she continued to serve, but now she was the Executive Principal of the campus during this transition year.

The site was then split into 4 different schools on the old Crawford campus with today each school having its own administrative staff and principal on what is now known as the Crawford High Educational Complex.

The Crawford campus is next to the Community of Rolando Park, and located in the El Cerrito area of San Diego’s District 7 and serves the eastern section of the City of San Diego between Highway 94, bounded by 70th Street on the east and Euclid Avenue on the west. The intermediate feeder public schools to Crawford are Horace Mann Middle School and Monroe Clark Middle School, and the elementary feeder schools include Campus Lab, Carver, Clay, Darnall, Euclid, Hardy, Jackson, Marshall, Muir, Language Academy, Oak Park, Rolando Park, Tubman Village, and Webster.

The socioeconomic make-up of the community includes families classified as middle class and a significant portion receiving some form of federal or state aid. The majority of students, however, come from families of moderate income. In March 2001, Crawford’s had a balanced community school with a student population of about 1,550 students. The student racial and ethnic composition at that time was as follows: Hispanic 35.1%, Asia 2.4%, Indochinese 28.1%, White 9.3%, African American 23.8%, with the remainder of Other being 1.3%.
