School Notes:
  • Kennewick High School is a public high school located in eastern Kennewick, Washington. It was founded in 1904 to serve the educational needs of the new city of Kennewick. The current building, constructed in 1954 and originally named Edwin S. Black Senior High School, is located at 500 S. Dayton St., and incorporates the remainder of the second high school building, which until 1966 served as Park Junior High School (now known as Park Middle School), as an annex (now named Pickerel Hall, in honor of Kennewick High teacher Bill Pickerel, who taught classes in that building). Both buildings were renovated in the mid-1990s, the annex first, then the main building. The first building has long since been demolished, the location became until 1994 the location of Kennewick School District 17's administration.
  • For 64 years, until the founding of Kamiakin High School, Kennewick High served as the sole high school in the entire city. Its colors are orange and black, and its mascot is the lion. Football and soccer games are played at Neil F. Lampson Stadium, which is located on the high school's grounds and is shared by both Kamiakin and Southridge High School.
  • Athletics: Recently, because of a change in enrollment accounting by the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association, Kennewick High, along with Kamiakin and Southridge, was reclassified as a 3A school. As a result, the Columbia Basin Big 9 Conference (which consisted of 11 schools), was reconfigured into the Columbia Basin League. The new conference now consists of 14 schools; seven 3A and seven 4A. Kennewick High is in the 3A division, along with Kamiakin, Southridge, Hanford High School, Sunnyside High School, Eastmont High School and West Valley High School. The 4A division consists of Richland High School, Pasco High School, Walla Walla High School, Eisenhower High School and A.C. Davis High School, Moses Lake High School, and Wenatchee High School.
