With student population rising every year, the addition of trailers has been constant. A new portion of school was completed in 2007/2008.

In 2002 or 2003, after a tour of the technology laboratory at the school, the education minister for Curaçao invited Janet Blanchette, a Crews teacher, to visit that country and help train their teachers, since that country's school system was in the middle of a technology upgrade.

“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
