Creekside High School is a public high school serving grades nine through twelve. It is located in Fairburn, Georgia. It is a part of the Fulton County School System. The school opened in fall 1990 as a result of the merger of Campbell High School in Fairburn, and Palmetto High School in Palmetto. The merger happened as a result of a consolidation plan to reduce the costs of the school system, comply with new state laws mandating minimum attendance numbers for government funded schools, and upgrade the course offerings of all schools in the county.
