History
Charles Page High School was built in 1959, constructed to replace Sand Springs High School, which is now the Central Ninth Grade Center. During construction, there was an accident and the roof collapsed. One of the workers fell 60 feet through the ceiling and died that tragic day, some say his ghost haunts the auditorium.
They compete in basketball, football, cross country, soccer, academic bowl, forensics, and competitive cheerleading and dance.
