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.
