History

Barton Store was the first building used for education in Suisun City around 1869.^{[citation needed]} Curry Grammar School was later built and dedicated to local businessman George W. Crystal.^{[citation needed]} Both of these early schools are reported to have been located at the current Crystal Middle School site. The Crystal building was expanded and the first local high school occupied a part of the building. However, due to funding problems the high school was closed. A new high school was built on the Crystal site in 1893. It was used until Armijo High School (which was located in the building that now houses the Fairfield courthouse) was built in 1915.

Crystal Middle School is named for George W. Crystal, who was born in 1846 and lived in the Vacaville area for 21 years. During this time he was in the merchandising business, and also manager of a Vacaville bank. His son later went on to become a financial secretary in the United States Senate.
