	The school's history includes periods of social tension as well as progress. During the civil rights era, New Castle County schools were subject to federal desegregation orders that reshaped enrollment patterns across the district. Christiana High School was not exempt from those pressures, and the demographic shifts that followed altered the composition of the student body over the following decades. In more recent years, the school has implemented restorative justice practices and expanded college preparatory programming aimed at students from lower-income households and historically underrepresented groups.<ref>{{cite web \|title=Christina School District: Student Services \|url=https://www.christinak12.org/departments/student-services/ \|work=Christina School District \|access-date=2024-01-15}}</ref>		The school's history includes periods of social tension as well as progress.
