- Issaquah High School, also known as Issaquah Senior High School or IHS, is a public secondary school located in Issaquah, Washington, USA operating under the Issaquah School District and serves students in grades 10-12.
- History
-
Founded in 1905,IHS was the first high school in Issaquah, WA. Previously located near the Issaquah Middle School campus, most of the current academic buildings were completed 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 IHS and nearby Skyline High School's 9th graders. IHS currently enrolls 10th-12th graders. However, the Pacific Cascade Freshman Campus will be converted into a middle school. IHS is currently undergoing an extensive re-modeling to accommodate the reinstatement of 9th graders at IHS.[1]
- Mascot controversy
-
In 2005, the school changed its mascot from the "Indians" to the "Eagles". The change came after The Church Council of Greater Seattle adopted a resolution calling for an end to all Native American imagery in school mascots in 2004. Following the school board's approval of the mascot change, approximately 150 students staged a walk-out in protest. The protesting students left classes and walked from IHS to the District Administration building. Upon arriving, students presented then-Superintendent Janet Barry with a petition signed by over 500 students, parents, alumni, and members of the community asking the school board to reconsider its decision. The district refused and the change went into effect in 2005.
