An anonymous OCThen reader asks about what happened to Crescent Junior High School in Buena Park...
Does anyone remember Crescent Jr. High and where did it go?? I went there in 62-63, then to Kennedy High class of 66. I have lived in Michigan and Northern California and now in the foothills of the Sierras above Fresno..but each time I go into BP..I am always at a loss as to where that funky styled jr. high went.
I did a quick Google search and came up empty. If you know something about it, or attended the school, post a comment here.

  • Crescent Junior High School closed down I believe around early 1980's and the land now is all houses. My brothers went there in the 70's.

  • I graduated from Crescent in 1969. It was closed in the late 1970s due to low enrollment, torn down and Ponderosa Homes built a development there. I ended up buying a house there in the first phase in 1983 and a few years later when we put in a pool, we dug a piece of one of the buildings.

  • I'm SO happy to find this posting... I have been wondering what in the world happened to our wonderful junior high school! I attended 7th & 8th grades there 1964-1966 and remember helping with a "time capsule" that was buried in the court yard area. We enclosed all kinds of memorabilia... Beatles, Beach Boys, 45rpm records, coins, pictures, our signatures, etc. I think it was "supposed" to remain buried until the year 2000... wonder who got all that loot?? ;) Gosh... remember those wonderful hot rolls we bought for 10cents a piece?? I have many fond memories of C-R-E-S-C-E-N-T... GOOoooo Crusaders!! Thank you for all your postings :)))

  • I was in the last graduating class in 1979. As for the time capsule I have also wondered what ever became of it.

  • I was in the last graduating class of Crescent, 1979. The district decided to make the high schools 4 year, and close a few jr highs starting the following school year. Crescent, Trident, La Palma, Apollo were closed. Crescent was unfortunately demolished and a housing tract was built in its place. The school was located on Crescent Ave. Between Dale and Stanton. Too many good memories, and too much time has passed. Go Crusaders
