Founded in 1996, the school is named after Dr. Alton C. Crews (1924–1996), a 13-year former superintendent of Gwinnett County Public Schools (1977–1989) and the first Georgian to break the sound barrier.
With student population rising every year, the addition of classroom trailers has been constant. An addition to the school was completed in 2007-2008. There is a total of 14 classrooms - ten regular education classrooms and four for resource. New renovations, including a new computer lab, were added as of August 2007. As of 2008, the school had more than 1,400 students.
In 2002 or 2003, after a tour of the technology laboratory at the school, the education minister for Curaçao invited teacher Janet Blanchette to visit that country and help train their teachers, since the school system there was in the middle of a technology upgrade.
