Stuart W. Cramer High School exceeded its academic growth expectations for the 2025-2026 year. We also achieved a B school performance grade, and we increased our graduation rate to above 92 percent.

Students can take Advanced Placement (AP), Career and College Promise (CCP), and honors courses to get a head start on college. We offer outstanding fine arts programs in band, chorus, visual arts, and theater. Plus, our Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes include unique options such as welding and culinary arts.

Stuart W. Cramer High School has a strong athletics program. We have won state championships in wrestling, track and field, and golf. Our student-athletes show great teamwork, school spirit and sportsmanship.

We are proud of our marching band and appreciate what the band brings to our football games on Friday nights. Be sure to take in a game this fall and support the Storm.

For the second year in a row, the boys golf team won the state championship. Additionally, Lane Crotts took the individual state championship title.
Congratulations on another outstanding performance in boys golf!

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
