Bellevue High School is a public secondary school located in Bellevue, Washington. In the 2008-2009 school year, Bellevue had 1313 students enrolled in grades 9 through 12.
The school principal is David Wellington, and the Assistant Principals are Andrea Pfeifer and Jonathan Shearer. The mascot is the wolverine.
Bellevue High School generally serves students in Bellevue School District's West Zone, which includes the towns of Medina, Yarrow Point, Clyde Hill, Hunts Point and Beaux Arts, and the neighborhoods of Enatai, Woodridge, Wilburton and Downtown Bellevue.
Academics
Newsweek magazine has ranked Bellevue High School among the best public and private high schools in the nation since it initiated its ranking of U.S. high schools in 2003 as measured by the number of AP tests taken divided by the number of seniors. The subsequent publicity resulted in the school reaching its building population limit and closing the formerly open enrollment policy. For the 2007-2008 school year, only students living within its zones may newly enroll.
Bellevue High School also has a number of special vocational programs.
Extracurricular activities
Athletics
Bellevue's 20 varsity teams and 45 other teams provide a range of team and individual sports. The school has won state titles in multiple individual and team sports including boys and girls cross country, tennis, soccer, swimming, track, wrestling, and football as well as several team academic championships. Of particular note is Bellevue's Girls swim and dive team whose 2006 3A Championship represents its fifth in six years, and sixth in eight years.
However, it is Bellevue's football team that put the school on the national map. Under the coaching of Butch Goncharoff, the team has become nationally-recognized according to USAToday for its precision use of the Wing-T offense. Bellevue has played and beaten many notable and nationally-ranked teams including Long Beach Poly of Long Beach, California. Perhaps most notable of these wins came against De La Salle of Concord, California on September 4, 2004. Bellevue's football team, playing in front of 20,000 fans at Seattle's Qwest Field defeated De La Salle, the top-ranked high school team in the country 39-20. The Bellevue victory broke De La Salle's 13 year, 151-game national record-setting winning streak.
The 2004 Bellevue team finished the season ranked No. 2 in the nation behind only Southlake Carroll High School of Southlake, Texas. The 2004 team went on to win their fourth consecutive state title, a Washington State record for large schools, and completing a 51 win, 2 loss span, led by Washington State Player of the Year J.R. Hasty as well as first team all-state players E.J. Savannah, Steven Schilling, William Valencia, Connor Mawhinney, and Keith Rosenburg. Other Bellevue players to receive Associated Press First Team all-state honors during the 4 consecutive title streak include Gavin Smith, Pat Mutzel, Jay Johnson, Jeff Dicks, Matt Coombs, Mike Braund, and Lee Driftmier.
Bellevue's 2008 state 3A football championship was the school's sixth state championship in eight years and seventh state football championship in school history. Prior to winning the 2008 state championship, the Bellevue football team was involved in a rollover bus crash several hours prior to playing the Capital Cougars (Olympia, WA) in the state semi-finals in the Tacoma Dome (Tacoma, WA). The accident delayed the game for three days as the Bellevue Wolverines went on to defeat the Capital Cougars in the state semi-finals. Bellevue holds multiple other Washington State records including the record for most consecutive championship tournament wins, 17.
Demographics
In the 2008-2009 school year, the total student enrollment was 1313. The racial demographics are: 2% African American, 26% Asian, 3% Hispanic, 6% Multiracial and 64% White. 23% of students speak another first language besides English. 9% qualify for free or reduced lunches.
