Just curious, but when did Celina HS open?

All I could find:

School History
As in all communities, the establishment of a school is of utmost importance. The first school in the "new" Celina was a small wooden structure that was in the neighborhood of the Jeff Malone residence. In 1906, a 2 story brick school building was completed on the campus where the Celina Independent School District Administrative offices are now. In 1915, this school was destroyed by fire. In 1916, another 2 story brick building with a basement was finished and school began in it. This school was torn down and a new one completed and dedicated in April of 1943. This is the building presently being used for the CISD Administrative Offices.

A new high school was built in 1976, and a new elementary school was completed in 1987. Bonds were passed in he spring of 1996 for a new high school and an addition to the elementary. After completion of the new high school, the middle school students will occupy the current Junior High school. In September 2001, bonds were passed for a new elementary school, additions to the high school, new vocational facilities, and renovations to the track. Since then, we have a brand new state of the art elementary school that opened in 2003.
