Community
St. Johns County is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, the picturesque St. Johns River on the west, metropolitan Jacksonville on the north, and rapidly growing Flagler County on the south. Year-round mild temperatures, miles of sandy beaches, the distinction of having America’s Oldest City (St. Augustine), and an internationally recognized sports haven, all add to the allure of the county to both residents and tourists alike. Located in the northwest quadrant of St. Johns County, Creekside High School (CHS) officially opened its doors to its first students on August 22, 2008. Creekside High School has received the grade of “A” from the Florida Department of Education. Creekside currently has 2,450 students with 645 students in the Senior Class of 2024.

AP Capstone
AP Capstone™ is a diploma program based on two yearlong AP courses: AP Seminar and AP Research. These courses are designed to complement other AP courses that the AP Capstone student may take. Instead of teaching specific subject knowledge, AP Seminar and AP Research use an interdisciplinary approach to develop the critical thinking, research, collaboration, time management, and presentation skills students need for college-level work. The College Board developed the AP Capstone Diploma program at the request of higher education professionals, who saw a need for a systematic way for high school students to begin mastering these skills before college.
Dual Enrollment
Courses are offered through an agreement between St. Johns County Schools and St. Johns River State College, on both campuses. DE classes available on campus are Composition 1, Composition 2, National Government, and State and Local Government.
