Issaquah High School

Issaquah High School is a four-year public secondary school in Issaquah, Washington, a suburb east of Seattle. Also known as Issaquah Senior High School or IHS, it is one of three high schools in the Issaquah School District and serves students in grades 9 - 12 from the central portion of the district. Issaquah High serves Issaquah, Sammamish, and Bellevue.HistoryFounded in 1901, Issaquah was the only high school in the school district until Liberty High School opened in 1977. Previously located near the Issaquah Middle School campus, IHS moved to its present site in southeast Issaquah in 1962. Growth of enrollment at IHS has coincided with the growth of the Issaquah community. The Issaquah School District completed the construction of the Pacific Cascade Freshman Campus in 2005, making it the new home to the freshman class of IHS and nearby Skyline High School. IHS enrolled only three grades (10-12) for five academic years (2005–10), while an extensive remodeling of the school took place. As of this year, the remodeling is complete. The cost of the remodel totaling $61,500,000, it is now the District's largest school. The three stories accommodate 1,850 students. There are three classroom wings, science labs, a main and auxiliary gym, commons, and administrative spaces.
