Sterling first opened its doors in the fall of 1966, setting tne stage for a new era in Baytown. Mrs. Terri White, government teacher who was a freshman cheerleader here during that first year, recalled, “It was really exciting to get to create new traditions. We really had to show a sense of pride because we were the ‘outcast school’ at the time.’’ Mrs. Willena Cherry, registrar, who worked with Mrs. Winnie Brown, the first principal, for two years prior to this time, said, “Since we were the ‘new school’ that had cost the district lots of money, we had a hard time getting anything but the basics. But we pulled together, worked hard and had lots of fun.” Now, two decades later, the school is new enough to be of modern design yet old enough to be distinctly unique. Similarly, when an automobile is 20 years old, it can be considered a classic. Sterling, too, can be considered this, a place ageless in its changing with the times, offering much, in truly ... a classic setting.
